CONCEPTUALISING THE DIGITAL UNIVERSITY - BILL J...

Despite the increasing ubiquity of the term  the concept of the digital university remains
diffuse and indeterminate. This book examines what the term 'digital university' should
encapsulate and the resulting challenges  possibilities and implications that digital
technology and practice brings to higher education. Critiquing the current state of definition
of the digital university construct  the authors propose a more holistic  integrated account
that acknowledges the inherent diffuseness of the concept. The authors also question the extent
to which digital technologies and practices can allow us to re-think the location of
universities and curricula  and how they can extend higher education as a public good within
the current wider political context. Framed inside a critical pedagogy perspective  this volume
debates the role of the university in fostering the learning environments  skills and
capabilities needed for critical engagement  active open participation and reflection in the
digital age. This pioneering volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of
digital education  as well as policy makers and practitioners.
