In the Loop: perspectives on tech & learning
an invitation ✉️
In the Loop invites individuals from different backgrounds and learning journeys - to explore, reflect, and share their perspectives on the intersection of tech and learning.
We've all been in and out of the loop - with learning, current events, the rapidly evolving and seemingly pervasive technologies. The definition of “tech” and “learning” are intentionally left broad and up to interpretation, and individuals have chosen to translate these in various ways. This collaborative experience engages with multiple stories, backgrounds, and interpretations: geographically, domain-wise, and even in how individuals have chosen to interpret tech, learning, and their junctures.
What’s the purpose?
-
Understand different dimensions of tech 🤝 learning for different audiences
-
Invite individuals to think about, engage with, and share how they’ve experienced learning in different contexts
-
Outline trends and high-level themes from research and industry in tech and learning.
We all are learners, we all fiddle with technology. In many ways, the “how” and “what” of learning have been shaped by technology. What does this look like for you?
