A free webinar from the Centre for Research in Digital Education, Edinburgh University on 20 March 2025 at 14.00-15.00 GMT (note that in the UK, the clocks don't change until 30 March): Killing Us Softly? The Four Futures of Digital Education. The speaker is Dr Ivana Milojevic, and the chair Professor Sian Bayne.
"This seminar explores four competing scenarios for digital education, drawing on futures thinking, critical pedagogy, and socio-technological imaginaries. These are: (1) Wild West Web: Corporate Digital Predation Disguised as Freedom, (2) Don’t Rock the Virtual Boat: Governmental Compliance Over Choice and Creativity, (3) The Spinning Wheel of User Death: Digitalisation for Incompetence and Laziness, and (4) Algorithms of Liberation: Digital Heterotopias and Participatory Futures."
