Digital Futures for Learning: Speculative Methods and Pedagogies


Add your own review!

Overview

Digital Futures for Learning offers a methodological and pedagogical way forward for researchers and educators who want to work imaginatively with ""what’s next"" in higher education and informal learning. Today’s debates around technological transformations of social, cultural and educational spaces and practices need to be informed by a more critical understanding of how visions of the future of learning are made and used, and how they come to be seen as desirable, inevitable or impossible. Integrating innovative methods, key research findings, engaging theories and creative pedagogies across multiple disciplines, this book argues for and explores speculative approaches to researching and analysing post-compulsory and informal learning futures – where we are, where we might go and how to get there.

Reviews

“Ross shows pathways to how futures perspectives can inventively change research and education. [She] convincingly shows that we cannot afford to refuse facing uncertainties of the future . . . speculative practices are entangled with theories and conceptual skills, and ways in which speculative practices blur borders between learning and research. These insights have been inspirational for my own team’s experiments with speculative methods.” —Ylva Lindberg, Jönköping University, Sweden, for Postdigital Science and Education “This is an incredibly important book . . . about the future of education [and] how we can think differently about what education is for and how we deliver it.” —Dave O’Brien, Professor of Cultural and Creative Industries, University of Manchester, UK


Lucila Carvalho, Senior Lecturer, Institute of Education Massey University, New Zealand: Overall, I would recommend this book for publication. I would buy it and would also recommend to teachers and researchers interested in learning about speculative approaches, and on how these may offer a more vivid way to analyse recent developments in digital education and informal learning settings. Tracy Harwood, Professor of Digital Culture, De Montfort University, UK: Jen Ross is very well qualified to write the book, and has a breadth of experience in the related topic. I'm sure she'll do an excellent job. The book will provide an important resource for academics developing teaching and learning resources for students now and in the future. Esther Priyadharshini, Associate Professor, School of Education and Lifelong Learning, University of East Anglia, UK: A book like this needs to be written, so I would highly recommend it for publication as swiftly as possible. And yes, the book would be of use to postgraduate courses in education, educational leadership & management, digital culture, and any form of digital education. There is also scope for using chapters of the book for undergraduate education that deals with any of the topics above.
