So, the Madagascar XO story was relatively focussed. This issue of The
Economist is more in the way of review and context. The issue-specific cover
text is
The future of learning
How technology is transforming education

First, there's their "Leader" (something of an editorial) shown in their
online and print tables-of-contents as "Education technology:
Brain gains" (page 9 in the print issue) but the online version carries the
headings:
Education technology
Together, technology and teachers can revamp schools
How the science of learning can get the best out of edtech
Their more reportage-and-analysis oriented "Briefing" is "Edtech: Machine
Learning" in the tables-of-contents, but carries the online headings
Edtech
Technology is transforming what happens when a child goes to school
Reformers are using new software to “personalise” learning
The leader uses B.F. Skinner's work as a frame, unfortunately, but at least
somewhat critically.
(I've been shifting the print edition of this around since I bought it off a
newstand and read it, waiting to pass along these links for your
consideration. Now that's done, I'll put it in the recycle bin, finally. :-)
