Current Issues in Education Special Issue: Shaping the Futures of Learning in the Digital Age, Parts 1 and 2

Dr. Sean Leahy (ASU OofSI), Samantha Becker (ASU UTO), Kim Flintoff (Curtin University), and Ben Scragg (ASU OofSI) edited and published the special issue Shaping the Futures of Learning in the Digital Age (2020) with editorial support from Stephanie McBride Schreiner and Current Issues in Education, an open-access, peer-reviewed academic education journal produced by doctoral students at our college. The focus of the first special issue was to “capture specific calls to action for shaping the future of learning in the digital age.”

Shaping the Futures of Learning in the Digital Age, Part 1

The same team produced a second installment of the special issue, published in January 2021, which unpacks the various intertwined journeys we must embark on together to bolster digital equity and inclusion, to recognize all forms of learning and to spur an even more harmonious connections between our institutions and the workforce of the future.

Comparative & International Education Society (CIES)

The CIES 2020 conference was held virtually in March-April 2020 and was titled “Education Beyond the Human,” with a focus on how human exceptionalism has affected all life on Earth, and how education should respond. Many of the conference materials, including keynotes, paper sessions, posters and more, are available through the website. MLFTC professor Iveta Silova, current president of CIES, provides an introduction to the conference at the link below.
