Book Description
The book represents an accessible and comprehensive point of reference for both the academic and the practitioner world in showing how education can be transformed and innovated to become more sustainable and resilient. The recent covid crisis shows that the education system and approaches used are not sustainable but can be ambushed and reactive. How can we (in the present) determine what we should learn to be prepared for the future? How can education be changed so that we learn more quickly and more effectively? Not only focusing on new methods/technologies but also on innovation of the learning process. How to use the experience to create future proof education and how certain innovations in education play a role in this transition? These are some of the questions answered in the book. It represents an overview of the state of affairs of innovative techniques used in education from both distance and face-to-face education. The topic of innovation is highly relevant for both the business world and a challenging and complex subject for the education industry. This is a unique book that offers new empirical insights for practitioners and policy makers of the field. Our approach in designing this book was a critical reflection of field expertise and scholarly experience, tailored to the knowledge needs dictated by the novelty and complexity of the topic.

Book Description
In the twenty-first century, educators around the world are being told that they need to transform education systems to adapt young people for the challenges of a global digital knowledge economy. Too rarely, however, do we ask whether this future vision is robust, achievable or even desirable, whether alternative futures might be in development, and what other possible futures might demand of education. Drawing on ten years of research into educational innovation and socio-technical change, working with educators, researchers, digital industries, students and policy-makers, this book questions taken-for-granted assumptions about the future of education. Arguing that we have been working with too narrow a vision of the future, Keri Facer makes a case for recognizing the challenges that the next two decades may bring, including: the emergence of new relationships between humans and technology the opportunities and challenges of aging populations the development of new forms of knowledge and democracy the challenges of climate warming and environmental disruption the potential for radical economic and social inequalities. This book describes the potential for these developments to impact critical aspects of education – including adult-child relationships, social justice, curriculum design, community relationships and learning ecologies. Packed with examples from around the world and utilising vital research undertaken by the author while Research Director at the UK’s Futurelab, the book helps to bring into focus the risks and opportunities for schools, students and societies over the coming two decades. It makes a powerful case for rethinking the relationship between education and social and technological change, and presents a set of key strategies for creating schools better able to meet the emerging needs of their students and communities. An important contribution to the debates surrounding educational futures, this book is compelling reading for all of those, including educators, researchers, policy-makers and students, who are asking the question 'how can education help us to build desirable futures for everyone in the context of social and technological change?'
