Companion text: This website is the home of the OER created by students at the “Digital Futures for Learning” course.

“This Digital Futures for Learning resource gives you the opportunity to consider the trajectory and implications of digital technologies for the future of learning. It is built around a set of Open Educational Resources (OERs) created by students on the Digital Futures for Learning course on the MSc in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh . These OERs, made by cohorts in 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2022, engage with themes of trust, resistance, representation, mess, failure, entanglement, privacy and surveillance, interfaces, participation and sustainability. The course used these themes (three per year) to guide participants’ exploration of emerging practices and technologies. Their OERs encourage you to ask: how are more established digital practices evolving? How will new digital technologies and trends impact on learning? How will the students and teachers of tomorrow construct their learning environments and practices?” (Digital Futures for Learning, 2023)
