Scenarios for the Future of School Education in the EU

• jruohonen 3y ago
  "Through technology we are building connections between reality and the digital world. People and objects can be created to exist in parallel with a digital version of themselves in a digital world -- a world that mimics the real world. There is a growing impact of technology and digital connectivity on how we live, socialise, work, produce, and govern. AI is an emerging field in education studies, both in the EU and internationally. Several studies have highlighted the benefits of AI for inclusion -- pre-dominantly in terms of the added benefits associated with differentiated and 'hyper-personalised' learning. At the same time, massive digitalisation and data collection could cause (and has done so) safeguarding concerns and risks to individual privacy, while catering to the monetary interests of tech companies." A good thing that they acknowledge ed-tech's pitches, but no critical reflection in the whole report about this so-called hyper-personalization. And no mention of smartphones.
