The experiment assessed the ability of seven candidate values to promote more productive thinking on three dimensions related to DML. Progress and Pragmatism were the highest scoring values in:

1. creating more favorable views for a role for digital media in learning,
2. increasing respondents’ acknowledgement of the benefits of digital media that experts cite, and
3. expanding support for policies that implement the kinds of interactive and experiential learning proposed by DML experts and advocates.

 
We suspect that combining the values of Progress and Pragmatism will provide a potent “one-two” punch that could cause significant changes in the way people orient themselves toward this issue.
