Abstract

This insightful book examines postdigital theories and their application to education. Michael Jopling explores how alternative perspectives can be used to address the challenges education faces in the modern world.

Providing both theoretical and practical insights, the book analyses the impact of the postdigital on learners, teachers and school environments, illustrating the evolution of the term over the last 25 years and examining its affordances. Reflecting on contemporary developments in AI technologies and their role in postdigital education, Jopling advances the study of pedagogy and evaluates how these theories can help with understanding and preparing for the uncertainties surrounding the future of education.

Understanding Postdigital Education is a vital resource for students and scholars of educational theory, particularly those exploring the impact of technologies on education. It will also benefit practitioners and policymakers interested in adopting postdigital approaches to educational reform.
