From the 1st September to the 13th October, the Centre is welcoming a visiting scholar: Dr Jillianne Code, director of the ALIVE Research Lab at the University of British Columbia in Canada, and recipient of a UBC Killam Fellowship that is supporting her time in Edinburgh.
During her visit, Dr Code will be working on her project, “Learner Agency in Digital Futures: Navigating the Algorithmic Age in Education”, which investigates how learners, equipped with digital tools, can control their learning trajectories, engage critically with digital content and collaboratively create knowledge, ultimately enhancing student autonomy and engagement.
She will also be hosting two public seminars:
Digital Education Futures Seminar Series: Seminar 1 'The Balance of Power' | Digital Education
Digital Education Futures Seminar Series: Seminar 2 'Charting Unseen Horizons' | Digital Education
If you would like to connect with Dr Code during her visit, feel free to contact her directly at jillianne.code@ubc.ca.
