Digital Transformation in Education

This subject examines the relationship between innovation, technology, and change. The subject’s focus is on strategic decisions that educators and leaders in government or industry are required to make in response to policy, to develop new policy, or as part of local processes of technology integration and adaptation. Students will engage with important debates in educational technology research, such as the relationship between technology and educational transformation (local transformation and global transformation), the growing importance of platforms, and the role of multiple forms of Automated Decision Making (ADM). Moreover, students will examine technology and automation through the lenses of decoloniality, inclusion, and sustainability. Through an applied investigation of technology adoption and integration – including non-use and resistance – students will develop a research-informed ability to lead and evaluate processes of digital and non-digital transformation.
