Title: Anticipating futures for digital education

My keynote will discuss a range of possible futures for digital education as we emerge out of COVID-19. I will discuss some of the emergent sector-wide trends we are seeing, and explore how these might might impact on the way we think about teaching within universities.

I will discuss a particular example of digital education 鈥榝utures鈥� work I led at the University of Edinburgh. This aimed to enable a wide conversation to take place among students and staff around how we would like to see digital education grow over the coming decades, and from that to build a vision for the university which balances technological change with the values of our academic and student body.

By sharing lessons from this work and from research and development across the sector I will argue that, post-COVID, academic communities need to be active in defining a preferred future according to our values, at a time when rapid technological change is often assumed to be driving the way we teach and learn.
