They suggest more technology is always a good thing and that technology will necessarily make teaching and learning faster, cheaper and better. That\u2019s their utopian vision.<\/p>\n<p>Some education scholars have been less optimistic, often\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mitpress.mit.edu\/9780262537445\/the-charisma-machine\/\">highlighting the failures of utopian thinking<\/a>. In many cases, their speculation about the future of education, especially where education technology is concerned,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s42438-022-00348-7\">often looks bleak<\/a>. In these examples, technology often reinforces prejudices and is used to control educators and learners alike.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to both utopian and grim futures, for a recent study funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, we sought to imagine more hopeful and desirable higher education futures. These are futures emerging out of justice, equity and even joy. In this spirit, we interviewed higher education experts for a podcast entitled\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpicollective.com\/series-3-education-futures\/\">Speculative Learning Futures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When asked to imagine more hopeful futures, what do experts propose as alternatives? What themes emerge in their work? Here are three key ideas.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>It\u2019s about more than technology<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>First, these experts reiterated that the future of education is about more than technology. When we think about the future of education we can sometimes imagine it as being tied entirely to the internet, computers and other digital tools. Or we believe\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/views\/2023\/03\/22\/how-ai-shaping-future-higher-ed-opinion\">AI in education is inevitable<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 or that all learning will be done through screens, maybe with robot teachers!<\/p>\n<p>But as Jen Ross,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.ac.uk\/profile\/jen-ross\">senior lecturer in digital education<\/a>\u00a0observes, technology doesn\u2019t solve all our problems. When we think about education futures, technology alone does not automatically help us create better education or healthier societies. Social or community concerns like social inequities will continue to affect who can access education, our education systems\u2019 values and how we are shaped by technologies.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pathwaystoeducation.ca\/research\/impacts-of-the-covid-19-pandemic-on-low-income-communities\/\">many researchers<\/a>\u00a0have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.officeforstudents.org.uk\/news-blog-and-events\/press-and-media\/digital-poverty-risks-leaving-students-behind\/\">argued<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s12528-022-09323-4\">including us<\/a>, the pandemic highlighted how differences in access to the internet and computers can reinforce inequities for students.<\/p>\n<p>AI can also reinforce inequities. Depending on the nature of data AI is trained with, the use of AI can\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/articles\/ai-is-coming-to-schools-and-if-were-not-careful-so-will-its-biases\/\">perpetuate harmful biases<\/a>\u00a0in classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>Ross notes in her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/Digital-Futures-for-Learning-Speculative-Methods-and-Pedagogies\/Ross\/p\/book\/9781032058122\">recent book<\/a>\u00a0that social or community concerns shape how our societies could imagine education. Researchers involved\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca\/funding-financement\/nfrf-fnfr\/stories-histoires\/2023\/inclusive_artificial_intelligence-intelligence_artificielle_inclusive-eng.aspx\">with Indigenous-led AI are tackling questions around how Indigenous knowledge systems could push AI<\/a>\u00a0to be more inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>Policymakers and educators should consider technology as one part of a toolkit of responses for making informed decisions about what technologies align with more equitable and just education futures.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Emphasizing connection and diversity<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In line with thinking about more than technology, the second theme is a reminder that the future of education is about healthy social connection and social justice. Researchers emphasize fostering diversity and celebrating diverse expressions of strengths and needs.<\/p>\n<p>Experts envision and call for education that is more sustainable for everyone, not just a privileged few. Kathrin Otrel-Cass,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=7-Eeh-YAAAAJ&amp;hl=th\">professor at University of Graz<\/a>, and Mark Brown,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dcu.ie\/nidl\/people\/mark-brown\">Ireland\u2019s first chair in digital learning and director of the National Institute for Digital Learning at Dublin City University<\/a>, suggest this means teaching and learning should be at a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/acme-journal.org\/index.php\/acme\/article\/view\/1058\">slower pace<\/a>\u00a0for students and faculty alike.<\/p>\n<p>In this vision, policymakers must support education systems that regard the whole learner as an individual with specific physical, mental, emotional and intellectual needs, and as a member of multiple communities.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Acknowledge the goodness of the present<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There\u2019s lots to be gained by noting and supporting all the great things related to education that are happening in the present, since possible futures emerge from what now exists.<\/p>\n<p>As two podcast guests,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.veletsianos.com\/2023\/05\/31\/speculative-learning-futures-podcast-episode-3-with-dr-eamon-costello-and-lily-girme\/\">Eamon Costello, professor at Dublin City University and collaborator Lily (Prajakta) Girme, noted<\/a>, we need to acknowledge the good work of educators and learners in the small wins that happen every day.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, researchers Justin Reich and Jos\u00e9 Ruip\u00e9rez-Valiente wrote: \u201cnew education technologies are rarely disruptive\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/science.aav7958\">but instead are domesticated by existing cultures and systems<\/a>. Dramatic expansion of educational opportunities to under-served populations will require political movements that change the focus, funding and purpose of higher education; they will not be achieved through new technologies alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These are words worth repeating.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios: <\/strong>Shandell Houlden is a Postdoctoral Fellow, School of Education and Technology and George Veletsianos is a Professor and Canada Research Chair in Innovative Learning and Technology both at Royal Roads University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We live at a time when universities and colleges are facing multiplying crises, pressures and changes.
