Sub theme 3: digital Pedagogy 

In this theme we draw on the perspective of digital where the dichotomies between ‘face-to-face’ and ‘online’, ‘natural’ and ‘artificial, ‘human’ and ‘non-human’, ‘pedagogical’ and ‘technological’ are viewed as inseparable from each other.

• online, blended, hybrid and hyflex pedagogies,  
• AR, AI, VR, MR for learning and teaching
