What is it about?
In this paper we describe the need for more replication research in the field of Educational Technology as well as provide examples of replication studies. The core of the article is a proposed framework for describing replication studies on a continuum.

Why is it important?
Replication studies will help us gain confidence in research findings as they are tested in different contexts. Establishing a common way for researchers to describe their level of replication will help other researchers understand what was changed in a study. Using common labels for replication studies also will make it easier for a body of research to be discovered via library databases, etc.,
Perspectives
This publication grew out of conversations that began in 2015 at the National Technology Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. It was rewarding to work with the co-authors over a period of time, refining our ideas, and working through feedback from anonymous reviewers. While it does not offer a complete solution to the need for more replication research in Educational Technology, we believe it offers a good starting point.
