DEI Ethics Part 1-1 (1)

#266 – Making EdTech More Inclusive

0

For this episode we will examine topics such how we use existing technology to assist with DEI and ethics, and what we know of technology that does not include this perspective.  We ask why that might be, and we look at the art of data capture, and data irresponsibility: what are we capturing that we shouldn’t, who is being affected by our biases, and if this is a step in the development of technological interventions that organisations can afford to skip.  How do we mitigate systemic bias and scaled harm?  What are examples of inclusive technology that accommodate the learning styles, online behaviours, device access, and dis/abilities of learners?  Can we place more pressure on leadership in schools and institutions to incorporate inclusive technologies?  What do we know of user agency, and how does that affect the design and transparency of an EdTech solution?

#264 – Searching for Answers in EdTech: Connecting at Bett

0

Bett is a gigantic trade show, with over 30,000 people coming to East London’s ExCel Centre every year, and 600 resource and solution providers exhibiting in its massive halls.  Amongst the new products, innovations, conversations and meetings, however, is the public, with that overriding question: what can I find here?  This week, we invite a teacher, educational technology researcher, and founder and CEO, to answer why they return to the show year after year, and what questions they ask of the technology on display, and the predictions made in the heart of the Bett arenas.

#263 – Digital Transformation: Connecting at Bett

0

The next Bett is being billed as the best Bett ever.  It’s always an important date on the education calendar, but what will make this one different?  Hear what Bett is doing differently, why it’s important, and what they’ll be doing to measure whether or not it works. Here’s a hint: it’s all about the data.  

Disruption, Risk, and the Higher Ed AI Frontier

#262 – Disruption, Risk, and the Higher Ed AI Frontier

0

For this episode we examine AI and EdTech penetration in universities and what form that takes, and what capacity exists to implement these changes effectively; we’ll look at 21st Century HE learner needs, such as personalisation, recommendations, intelligent support, profiling and prompts; try to determine how to provide added value to university experience given the costs involved, and what the future of tech-enhanced HE could look like to help produce the best graduates possible.

#255 – Does It Work? Evidence in EdTech

0

For this episode we examine the presence of EdTech in schools, looking at how we judge whether the tech ‘works’ or not.  We explore what makes for good evidence, why contextual use is significant, and how school CPD, infrastructure development, and staff capacity building are vital to making the most of the tools at our disposal.
