Notas del editor
- Firstly we have greatly underestimated that educational technology is a contested terrain. This rather simplistic representation shows how digital learning is torn between competing mindsets: boosters, doomsters, deschoolers and toolsters. Arguably most educators see technology as ‘just another tool’, which is hardly a disruptive metaphor. My own position is one of critic as I’m always trying to understand the good and the bad of any new technology.
- To quote Shakespeare, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together...”This observation brings me to the second point. There has been a basic failure to understand the character of pedagogical innovation and the complexities of the change process.
- Course starts this coming Monday So far 789 learners have registered for the course Completion rates for Open2Study courses are currently around 60% of people who start the course And around 25% of all registered people complete the course
