Frictions and Futures for Digital Higher Education

Keynote: Dr. Siân Bayne

This talk will describe some of the dominant narratives and imaginaries currently shaping the future of higher education teaching. In critiquing these it will also explore creative, participative and perhaps preferable alternatives. Working toward an understanding of the digital frictions and imagined futures shaping universities, the talk will bounce off a set of speculative scenarios as it considers how – as teachers – we can actively shape the landscape of our future higher education.

In framing an argument, I will build on the Manifesto for Teaching Online, the Near Future Teaching project and other elements of the research programme of the Centre for Research in Digital Education at Edinburgh University.
