Aagaard, T. and Lund, A. (2019). Digital Agency in Higher Education – Transforming Teaching and Learning. London: Routledge.
We have been hearing about the transformation of colleges and universities for close to one hundred years, but what is happening now as a result of COVID-19 is the exploration of the ways in which technology can transform teaching and the experience of learning within our existing structures and arrangements. The shift from content curation to constructivism. This book – published well before COVID-19 – explores some of the challenges of these shifts, in particular issues of equity, quality, ethics and the pervasive influence of private interests on public spaces. A well written book (available as an e-book from Taylor-Francis), these Norwegian writers hit many nails on the head.
