The Ethical Consequences, Contestations, and Possibilities of Designs in Educational Systems

• In Event: STC- Ethics and Systems Thinking

Short Description

In this presentation, we will use the five spaces for design in education framework to illustrate issues of ethics, equity, and power in educational technology. The five spaces–artifacts, processes, experiences, systems, and culture–can be considered as sites of consequences of previous design decisions, of contestation where resistance to change is met, and of possibility where re-design can happen. We explore these issues through an analysis of two educational technologies: test proctoring software and LLM chatbots.
