Find out about our ACODA study.
The Australian Children of the Digital Age (ACODA) study is documenting and tracking patterns of more than 3,000 Australian families and their children from six months to six years of age. By engaging thousands of families across Australia, we will learn more about how digital technologies are used by young children and understand the impact of technology use.
Policy mention: OECD Education Policy Perspectives
