Sustainable education futures … what role can digital technology play?

Most of our discussions presume that digital technologies will continue to play a central role in the future university. In this presentation, Neil Selwyn tests such 'digital first' assumptions in light of growing concerns over the possible long-term social and environmental unsustainability of digital technologies. Key questions to consider include:

* How can we talk about digital education futures in light of the growing environmental harms arising from digital technology production and use?

* How can we endorse digital education futures that are likely to exacerbate social inequalities and disadvantage already disadvantaged populations?

In light of these issues, Neil Selwyn outlines some alternate 'radically sustainable' ways that we might like to anticipate future forms of digital education that work towards the common good and towards sustainable futures.
