1) The Global World’s Challeges: going towards Digital Learning
• Consequences of going into the Digital Era (UNESCO docs)
• Digital Skills required for teachers & students (citizens) (UNESCO + OECD)
• SDG #4: Quality Education & Education for All (UN)
• Equity, participation and quality: the case of the developing countries and what
sustainability means
2) The benefits of the scenario: the opportunities
• The increase of online education
• The effectiveness (potential –flexibility …- and outcomes -% results-)
• The contribution to productivity (pay off, studies on that)
3) The risks
• Big data: doing business with your personal data
• Tech companies: the lack of ethics in business
• Bad pedagogy: mere translation of traditional patterns to new technologies
(MOOCs, etc.)
• A critical approach (Selwyn)
4) Final remarks: the challenges
• To look for the balance
• To be aware: do not accept every single proposition
• To be demanding with our practices
• What the universities are expected to do (!!!!) (not to embarce onine in a hurry,
go beyond MOOCs)

capital over the past five years, E-Learning is being
driven not only by startup dot-com entrepreneurs but
also by big corporations, for-profit spin-off ventures, as
well as big and small universities.”

Students in online conditions performed modestly
better, on average, than those learning the same
material through traditional face-to-face instruction.
Learning outcomes for students who engaged in online
learning exceeded those of students receiving face-to-face
instruction, with an average effect size of +0.20 favoring
online conditions

“Datafication” of education
• A panacea for many corrent educational challenges and
problems
• A new way for governing and controlling education
systems
• Reproduction of inequalities and social relations
• Intensification of managerialism within education
• Dataveillance
• The reductive nature of “what counts” as “education”

“Uberisation” of education

“Foodies are reactionaries”
“Rinehart criticized people who eat regular food as
being “reactionary.”
He thinks that his own industrialized food product
is going to save the world, and that “new” and
“different” are necessarily better.”
(http://www.returnofkings.com, June 1, 2013)SOYLENT
The need of humanistic competencies for technologists
“… if we say that reality is one, we also know that it is complex and if we don’t
collaborate between disciplines, from science and art, we will live a partial
reality.” (Aymerich, Ara, 7/6/15)
Technology should support, but not shape life.

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) “tools are producing
compelling advances in complex tasks, with
dramatic improvements in energy consumption,
audio processing, and leukemia detection”, we are
also faced with the reality that “AI systems are
already making problematic judgements that are
producing significant social, cultural, and economic
impacts in people’s everyday lives.”
