Education in the (Post) Information Age

Projects a vision of education as a pathway to renewal, where research is based on searching and students are on a journey through knowledge. This book celebrates the possibilities of digital platforms in education, but deplores the consequences of placing funding on technology and not teachers.

It is far from a luddite critique of the information age. Tara Brabazon celebrates the possibilities of digital platforms in education, but deplores the consequences of placing funding on technology and not teachers. In doing so, she opens a new debate on how to make our educational system both productive and provocative in the (post-) information age.
