DETAILS
The global pandemic has led to a ‘pivot’ to digital learning in many sectors of many countries, in schools, colleges and universities. My work with the UK Edtech Hub, British Council and Commonwealth of Learning suggests this response to the pandemic has been pedagogically conservative within those schools, colleges and universities, and furthermore may be increasing digital divides and educational disadvantage for those individuals, communities and cultures that are ignored, oppressed or poorly served by those schools, colleges and universities. My research explores in which innovative informal digital learning can help and support.
