Overview
There are significant technological challenges in education, and this unit provides you with an opportunity to explore a challenge that exists in your professional life. Whether this challenge is related to a technology – for example, AI-driven education – or whether the challenge is related to workplace practices that involve technologies – for example the impact of automated decision making on teachers’ classroom practices. This unit provides you with the opportunity to engage in theoretical and practical explorations of possible solutions, and to engage with a design process that responds to an educational issue.
