technologies
(Morrison, 2003; Schwier, 2012; Siemens & Matheos, 2010; Spanier, 2010).
Questions around the
purpose of education
Rebirth of edtech
“I feel like I’ve been here before”
1922: “motion picture is
destined to revolutionize
our education system …
in a few years it will
supplant largely, if not
entirely, the use of
textbooks”
1999: “education over
the Internet is going to
be so big it is going to
make e-mail usage look
like a rounding error”
Techno-enthusiasm
& techno-determinism
e.g., Technology will ____________
The Beautiful, Messy, Inspiring, and Harrowing World of Online Learning
Educational Technology suffers from
exuberant positivity and optimism
(Selwyn, 2011a)
“curious amnesia, forgetfulness”
(Selwyn, 2011b)
Our memento moments
With respect to beliefs…
what we have is two opposing
perspectives
Online learning as wondrous
Online learning as monstrous
They coexist.
Both are accurate.
Both capture the realities of online
learning.
Realities. Plural.

“My oldest [child] will be 4 this June, and I'm

“A routine visit, friendly chit chat … and then
suddenly a quiet chill in the room,

tomorrow I’m having a bone scan.”

Harrowing Online Learning
“My most vivid memory was this huge
argument that broke out at the [open course]
discussion board about an assignment that I
submitted… [I received] this absolute torrent of
rudeness, just vicious personal attacks that I
never experienced on the internet before… I
mean, I know that they happen on YouTube,
but I did not expect that in a class at all!
The professor was totally checked out, he
never visited the discussion board… and it was
just depressing and discouraging”
Harrowing Online Learning
“I posted a comment stating that the grading
was incorrect. [One] of the teaching staff
[scolded me] stating that it was obvious I
hadn’t viewed the lecture. While I didn’t
expect staff to instantly take my word that
there was a mistake, I certainly didn't expect
negative and condescending remarks...[I was]
left with a partial sense of accomplishment
and feelings of hollowness and
incompleteness.”

Messy Online Learning
varied. complex. real.
Messy Online Learning
To understand the messiness of
learning, the reality of what it means
to learn in digital contexts, we need
empirical inquiry that uses a variety
of methodologies.
Digital learning environments, that replicate traditional
classroom approaches often result in “showcase
environments that are often not much more than computer
assisted page turning” (Kirschner et al., 2004, pp. 47-48).
The reality
• Educators, researchers, and designers working together
• Collaboration, not competition (e.g., institutions to
collaborate on offerings)
• Use the affordances of the technology & the affordances
of openness, to change practice
• Understand the history of educational technology
• Learn from the existing research on learning technologies
• Offer solutions, design the future that you want.
Potential approaches to rectify this…
Thank you!
