Edtech is killing us
Neil Selwyn talk given to Centre for Research in Digital Education at University of Edinburgh: Studying digital education in times of climate crisis: what can we do?
We currently live in a period of edtech excess and that this is fuelling increasing disadvantage and climate crisis. Is more tech really the answer?
How we might use “less tech for more just educational outcomes”?
- Where does OER fit?
- What about our commitments to reconciliation (which has to include responsible use of natural resources)?
- Just how do we reach some of the most marginalised learners in Canada?
Should we be assessing the environmental footprint of our courses as a design and quality assurance activity much like might assess accessibility?
