Hermeneutics and Online Pedagogy, or the Transformational Power of Recognizing the Limitations of Distance Learning
2021
Abstract
It is time for a new look at educational technology. Drawing from the fields of philosophy of technology, philosophy of education, and hermeneutics, I want to argue that the difficulties of eLearning, to some extent, compel educators to reassess some assumptions about their practice what leads to openness for dialogue and to knowledge and understandings of the other (in this case the student).
These outcomes can have transformative power. I conclude this discussion by pointing out in which way digital education, therefore, can be transformative.
