Disrupting the dialogue with an old-school debate on learning, design, and technology

• In Event: Disrupting the dialogue with an old-school debate on learning, design, and technology

Short Description

Are we too collegial for the sake of avoiding confrontations? Well-intentioned practices, such as using hedging language or respectfully disagreeing without further engagement, can result in avoiding deeper discussions about often meaningful or significant implications. Such vail pleasantries do little to advance the field or our own thinking. In this structured debate, leading scholars tackle position statements about the field. We aim to engage panelists and audience members as agents of change, disruptors, with the potential to ignite broader dialogues.
