@discoursology

I feel like I'm the only one shouting this from the rooftop, so finally glad to have come across folks focused on edu research from a speculative/generative agenda

@impactology they have great masters programmes at Edinburgh too

@impactology Or PhD programmes!

@discoursology Ah wish I had come across a decade earlier :D

I'm a college dropout, so formal edu route is pretty much closed off for me, instead I'm doing my own DIY research bridging design with edu research.

This is what I'm working on currently (the image on the top left is a scoped out version of the latter)

@impactology Ah I thought I had read that you were looking for sth at the crossroads of philosophy of science etc.

@discoursology I'm interested in the question in what way can we design edtech that enables pedagogical creativity

That improves teachers ability to construct dialogues for concepts in a way that students discover core idea behind concepts themselves

Tools that help make learning more contextualized, that help teachers make more interdisciplinary curricula

and here I think philosophy of science could help

@discoursology and the reason I'm interested in digital education/online learning is because it overcomes the core exclusionary logic of access to education in physical IRL learning — Competition due to limitation on the number of students that can be enrolled based on the number seats

@discoursology

There is an extremely unique, ubiquitous, obvious property of the digital that is not appreciated enough

The ability to use an object/service by millions at the same time, like simultaneously without having to compete with each other

That it affords/creates transient, temporary spaces for billions of people to inhabit, use at the same time without one needing to compete with another to use it is kinda marvellous

In that way I feel edtech can be liberatory.

@impactology @discoursology yes, I agree and I hope you find your way.

@impactology We have bits and pieces in Learning, Media and Technology ok these issues. (Often, but not always, open access) Including Sian’s recent piece on Digital utopias. Maybe you’ll find interesting reading there?

"From our conception of human development through our ways of educating teachers to the teaching of mathematics, they argue for the centrality of imagination in the realization of human potential, and for its relevance to the most urgent problems confronting our world"
