TEFT views technology through three key technoethical lenses or perspectives: instrumental, sociomaterial and existential. The instrumental lens is most familiar to teachers and focuses on the policies and laws governing teachers’ and students’ uses of technology. The sociomaterial perspective attends to technology’s built-in biases and how it translates behaviour in prescribed or circumscribed ways. The existential lens considers how students’ and teachers’ entanglements with technology condition how they experience the world and transform their ways of knowing, doing, being and becoming. Taken together, these three approaches provide teachers with a theoretically robust view of the ethical implications of using technology in the classroom.KEYWORDS: Technology biaseducational technologyposthumanteacher ethicsK-12 education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The classroom examples are selected from a postphenomenological study of elementary school teachers using ClassDojo in several Western Canadian urban centres (Yuen Citation2021) and supervised by one of the authors (Adams).2 CommonSense Privacy Program (Citation2022) recently gave ClassDojo a rating of 82% or ‘Warning’ for its privacy and data protection policies.

It draws on the visions, programmes, and plans of six language initiatives that are developing language technology for often-marginalised indigenous, tribal, and minority (ITM) languages, such as Gondi, Maithili, Rajasthani and Mundari, in India. We note three distinct discourses: (1) technological optimism in utilising these new opportunities by claiming space for otherwise-marginalised languages, (2) the imperative for collaborative and collective work in order to address sparse datasets, and (3) the need to negotiate the contested nature of imagining a new collective future. This paper argues that indigenous language technology is not just a technical project but a contested process of subverting linguistic hierarchy through the ‘active presencing’ of these languages. Overall, the paper emphasizes the need for a nuanced approach that recognizes the interplay between technology, language education, and broader social and political factors.","PeriodicalId":47502,"journal":{"name":"Learning Media and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135725488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on scholarship that recognizes data practices as entangled and ‘messy’, the paper problematizes the model of the feedback loop that assumes that analytics dashboards ‘feed back’ data to instructors and/or learners through a singular flow of data processing. By setting out an empirical study that focuses on four MOOCs, in two universities and on two platforms, the paper maps where, when, and how design teams, instructors, and learners are involved in the enactment of feedback through and beyond analytics dashboards. The findings draw on visualizations that highlight complex relations among people and technologies, which include multiple ‘loops’. The paper concludes with questioning the need to capture feedback in a singular loop and suggests prioritizing continued attention to the roles and responsibilities of people – educational designers, instructors, and learners – in MOOCs.KEYWORDS: Analytics dashboardsfeedbackMOOCstopologydata infrastructures AcknowledgmentsWe want to thank Lizzy Garner-Foy, Rachael Mfoafo, and other members of the Online Course Production Service at the University of Edinburgh, and Lien Castelein, Elke Van der Stappen, Jeroen Buntinx, and Kenny Verbeke of the MOOC Team at the KU Leuven for their contributions.

The themes of emergence, openness and desire are woven through the three modes of Levitas’s method. First, an archaeological analysis considers the relationship between digital education, lifelong learning and utopia in the political programmes of UNESCO, OECD and the UK government. Second, Levitas’s ‘utopia as ontology’ considers how critical digital education might help move us from the paradigm of the locked-down ‘data subject’ within a human capital model of education toward emergent and more-than-human ways of understanding. Third, the method’s architectural phase is used to explore how a future for digital education might be imagined through the themes of ecopedagogy, diversity of knowledge and the end of institutions. The paper argues that the new twenty-first century utopian imagination might help us to imagine and build better futures for digital education.","PeriodicalId":47502,"journal":{"name":"Learning Media and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135743622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Boundaries might be said to define our everyday social and cultural worlds in fundamental ways. Boundaries can be manifested by material objects, such as fences and walls, for example marking borders between countries or properties or marking limits between inside and outside school buildings. In addition, boundaries can be defined in the ways we understand different contexts and practices, and the embedded expected codes and norms of behaviour, for example in classrooms, at home, on the soccer field, or in youth clubs. Still, most of the time we are unaware of boundaries in everyday life and of their impacts and take them more or less for granted. There has been a growing interest in studying how learners move between settings and contexts and how they are positioned as learners in certain ways (Azevedo and Mann 2022; Bricker and Bell 2014; Leander, Phillips, and Taylor 2010; Nasir et al. 2020). Also, scholars have identified possible continuities and discontinuities in and between contexts of participation and learning (Bronkhorst and Akkerman 2016), and the notion of boundaries is often framed as something that marks certain types of discontinuities in people’s experiences and identities. We deal with boundaries throughout our everyday lives regarding what we can and cannot do in specific situations and settings. We orient ourselves by our understanding of the different roles we are expected to perform in and across these settings, as a family person at home, being with friends at a concert, being a student or teacher at school, or when doing sports in our local communities. Scholars from different fields have started to address the blurring of social and culturally defined boundaries, and their implication in different spheres of everyday life. One important factor is, of course, the emerging digital culture we live in, which impacts all aspects of our lives, creating new, often unforeseen, practices and interpretations of boundaries (Ehret and Rowsell 2021; Erstad and Silseth 2022; Jandrić et al. 2018; Macgilchrist, Allert, and Bruch 2020; Sefton-Green and Erstad 2017). Therefore, it becomes crucial to research and explore the experiences that participants in contemporary social practices mobilise as relevant resources in and across specific settings and activities, such as when learning about genetics in school science, playing online computer games with peers, or posting self-created videos on social media. Our thinking about boundaries also enables us to extend our thinking about what learning is, where learning happens, and the kinds of resources that are relevant for successful participation in and across settings and contexts. This special issue provides the reader with both theoretical explorations and empirical studies from different countries around the world and brings together a unique collection of contributions that address the topic of boundaries in re","PeriodicalId":47502,"journal":{"name":"Learning Media and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135902752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the constructs of language teacher professional identity, social media micro-celebrity persona, linguistic entrepreneurship, and raciolinguistic ideologies and online persona, the study analyses banner images, biographies, and semi-structured interviews of online teachers and provides a framework for understanding online teacher identity. The findings reveal that online teachers strategically align or distance themselves from different identity positions to foreground their identity as online English teachers. The findings point to the complex identity construction of online teachers as they navigate the complex terrain of the online English language teaching (ELT) marketplace dominated by neoliberal and raciolinguistic ideologies. The study contributes to a better understanding of the opportunities offered by technology in promoting or challenging such ideologies and calls for a recognition of the identity work online teachers put in to foreground their teacher identity.KEYWORDS: Online teacher identityonline teaching videosmultimodalitylanguage ideologies Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 A popular online English teacher was interviewed by BBC News for the success of her online teaching channel: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-39672663.2 While this classification has been critiqued in the literature, it still plays an influential role in accounting for the spread and development of English globally. The terminologies associated with this model are still used in this article for clarity.3 In recent years, there is a greater awareness of the raciolinguistic ideologies associated with native-speakerism among online ELT professionals. One specific incident has been particularly impactful to the industry, which led to one of the most popular online teachers on YouTube publishing an apology video for perpetuating ‘accent discrimination’ in her videos. In the apology video, the teacher appeals for the industry to be aware of the unintended consequences of creating videos which may perpetuate raciolinguistic ideologies.Additional informationFundingThe work described in this paper was fully supported by a grant from the Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China (Project No: 21610321).","PeriodicalId":47502,"journal":{"name":"Learning Media and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135148864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article addresses this by examining the googlization of education across three countries – The US, Australia, and The Netherlands – focusing on the work by new and established intermediary actors which mediate platform power between private tech companies and public education systems.

In this study of the algorithmic experiences of secondary education students in the Netherlands, we want to contribute to building such knowledge, making use of the concepts of algorithmic imagination, power and critical evaluation. Results show students build situational, practical-experiential knowledge of algorithmic workings that is closely in line with the features of the interface of the social media platforms they use.
