The postdigital challenge of critical educational research

This chapter focuses on the postdigital challenge of critical educational research is now perhaps even more relevant than in pre-pandemic times of its writing. Contemporary education cannot be thought of in separation from digital technologies – buzzwords such as e-learning, digital education, technology enhanced learning (TEL), networked learning (NL), Zoom, and others, dominate discourse of educational research, politics, policy, and practice. The research ideology of empiricism, ranging from objectivism to subjectivism, has more structural power than critical methodologies, and this results in various conflicts between the traditions. The postdigital is an uncanny mashup of technological and non-technological, biological and informational. The postdigital challenge of critical educational research is both theoretical and methodological. The Woolf University (2019) was developed in 2018 by academics from Oxford University as a fully online educational platform. The Woolf University uses a lot of advanced technology which enables communication between students and instructors with a minimum of human administrative support.
