The primary aim of this subject is to introduce students to futures thinking and the digital literacies practices they need to acquire and/or abandon to successfully avoid digital disruption. Students will explore a range of learning and teaching philosophies, methods and practices and their associated underlying principles for tertiary learning and teaching in a digital age. They will explore how anticipation, learning and teaching are inter-related and connected by the concept of complexity and the unprecedented possibilities for education to be different than it is now. Using futures thinking, students will also apply expert knowledge and research skills to address a complex personal, local or global challenge by designing, implementing and evaluating a preferable future(s) over a probable one(s).
