ABSTRACT

The first part of this chapter, then, briefly outlines the developments in learning, learning technologies and teaching that have been discussed in the previous chapters. I then focus on the tensions in these developments through the device of constructing two possible futures for learning and teaching in higher education. These futures are not intended to offer an accurate prediction of the future but are instead intended to explore and extend the logic of different ways of thinking about the development of learning and teaching. Finally, I use the differences between these two futures to argue for a more critical approach to the development of learning and teaching in higher education.
