In this episode, Felipe Sánchez talks with Prof Siân Bayne, director of the Centre for Research in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh. They discuss about the "Near Future Teaching" project, which aimed to develop a vision for the future of digital education at the university. The project took a values-based approach, focusing on diversity, justice, and the centrality of community. Bayne also highlights the importance of rethinking education beyond instrumentalization and emphasizes the need to educate the desire for better futures. The interview touches on topics such as critical anticipation, utopia, and the role of technology in education. The Near Futures Teaching project was seen as a provocation and a starting point for conversations about the future of education.
