Postdigital Learning Spaces

Postdigital Learning Spaces

This edited collection brings empirical, theoretical, and conceptual work related to learning spaces and practices that draw on the convergence of nature, humans, and the digital, in order to contribute to transformative action (that is likely) to effect change. The book asks, how can learning spaces be more convivial, equitable or sustainable, considering the challenges our world is facing? With a view to extending the reach and impact of existing postdigital scholarship, the book explores learning spaces beyond higher education. This includes learning spaces associated with cultural heritage, creative arts, refugees and displaced persons, schools, outdoor education, the city, and elsewhere.
