Designing Postdigital Futures: Which Designs? Whose Futures?

[...]design-based research (a scholarly approach to designing interventions and building theory) and design thinking (a practice-based method) both generally reproduce an engineering approach. Theories of power, knowledge, and justice also become essential to understanding design in education. The ‘matrix for convivial technology’ emphasises the interdependence and co-evolution of individuals, social networks, technologies, and the planet (Vetter 2018, see also Selwyn 2023). Educational technologies in education are seen as operating in the ‘mud’ and ‘noise’ of the ‘scrappy realities’ of everyday (postdigital) educational practices (Jandrić et al. 2018; Macgilchrist 2021; Selwyn and Jandrić, 2020).
