‘Splintered selves’
Much research into teachers’ use of social media has focused upon framing it as a professional learning tool and exploring the challenges and benefits of interacting online. Less research has been undertaken in the way these interactions present and also shape the identity of the participating teachers, especially across multiple social media sites. This paper examines precisely this issue, analysing the way that teachers have navigated various s…
Introduction to special section
Decentring the human in online spaces
Purpose Increasingly our lives are being mediated through online tools and spaces that shape our experiences of living and learning in ways that are only recently being examined. Developing suitable methodologies to examine these online spaces has proven challenging, while there is validity to the use of network analytics and statistical interpretations of networks and more recently, digital ethnographies and “netnographies”, these approaches are…
Digital neighbourhood moderation
Purpose The convergence of digital technologies and local public safety practices has led to the emergence of Facebook-based community groups as informal but influential platforms for neighbourhood governance. Group administrators and moderators are increasingly central to managing online safety, yet their roles remain under-examined. This paper presents findings from Phase 1 of a four-phase study that investigates the roles, responsibilities and…
Quality assurance interventions in blended learning design
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift in higher education towards blended and online learning, prompting a need for robust quality assurance interventions. Blended learning, a combination of face-to-face and online experiences, offers flexibility and individualised learning paths, but its quality varies across institutions. Quality assurance interventions play a crucial role in monitoring and enhancing the effectiveness of blended learn…
Becoming propaganda
How does a social cause like race in public education get revived and reinvented? How do political interest groups mount a campaign that flows internationally from the United States to Australia and leads to the political exclusion of Critical Race Theory from the Australian Curriculum? This article addresses these questions by examining how social media has been used to distribute propaganda that infers racial literacy education is a problem for…
The role of online crisis actors in teachers’ work and lives
It is not surprising that various sources have recently described the teaching profession in Australia as 'in crisis'. The consequences of pandemic policy have provided opportunities for groups to exploit the cascading crises facing teachers. We argue the online political ecosystem recognises teachers as a trope useful for retaining or gaining power. Astroturfing is the process by which political actors seek to present policy platforms emerging i…
Fostering Excellence in Blended Learning, a Mixed Methods Investigation of an Academic Learning Design Support Tool
In Search of Alignment between Learning Analytics and Learning Design
Learning design (LD) has increasingly been recognized as a significant contextual element for the interpretation and adoption of learning analytics (LA). Yet, few studies have explored how instructors integrate LA feedback into their learning designs, especially within open automated feedback (AF) systems. This research presents a multiple-case study at one higher education institution to unveil instructors’ pilot efforts in using an open AF syst…
Generative AI in the Australian education system
The launch of new tools in late 2022 heralded significant growth in attention to the impacts of generative AI (GenAI) in education. Claims of the potential impact on education are contested, but there are clear risks of inappropriate use particularly where GenAI aligns poorly with learning aims. In response, in mid-2023, the Australian Federal Government held an inquiry, calling for public submissions. This inquiry offers a lens onto the policy f…
Refreshing critical pedagogy and citizenship education through the lens of justice and complexity pedagogy
Maximal citizenship educators are committed to advancing an approach to citizenship learning with the following staple features: learner-centred; experiential; problem- and action-oriented; racialised, classed and gendered analysis of power; and strengthening the public sphere and democracy. This type of approach to education shares many similarities with the principles of critical pedagogy. However, there have been valid arguments that Frankfurt…
