Digital Education Futures Lab

Te Puna Rangahau i-Ako

27 August 2024

While integrating technology has provided new opportunities, we need clear, critical, research-led discussion into design and equitable application of technology in education. UC's Digital Education Futures Lab focuses on examining practice, approaches, and research around digital technologies that shape the future of education. Learn more.

HOW TO APPLY

Digital technology has had a profound impact on education. Workplaces, universities, and schools have become increasingly digital. This adoption and application has shaped how we engage in education and has provided both considerable benefits while also bringing many unforeseen challenges. Digital technology fundamentally impacts how we connect, communicate and engage with learning and teaching.

While the integration of technology has provided new and enhanced opportunities, there is a need for a clear and critical research-led discussion into design and equitable application of technology within education.

We are a community of researchers engaged in the exploration of digital technologies within the educational context across all contexts of education, inclu; formal and informal, schooling, pre and post schooling. We are focused on examining practice, approaches and research around digital technologies which shape the future of education. Our research is driven through experimenting, observing and evaluating the impact which technology has had on society and within education in particular.
