This paper elaborates the two different academic views of the identity of educational technology in China at the current time—advanced‐technology‐oriented cognition, known as Electrifying Education, and problem‐solving‐oriented cognition, known as Educational Technology. It addresses five main modes of educational technology in China: as a programme, as a research direction, as a discipline area, as an institution and as an enterprise. The authors provide a brief description of the field of educational technology in China.
