Postdigital educational futures

• This entry departs from promissory imaginaries about educational technology to show how postdigital research adopts a critical stance on futures. Futures are observed as both a research object and a methodological frame to understand an increasingly complex and technology-dense reality. Temporalities are identified as follows: futures in the present, near futures, far futures, and alternative futures. These situated time-spaces cater for different methodological approaches. Anticipatory methods are elaborated in relation to a near future, while far futures can be grasped through speculatively methods. Alternative futures are usually formulated in the literary vein of science fiction. The tendency in recent futures studies is to make explicit dimensions of ethics, care, and values in the crafting of educational futures.
