Postmodern critique of teaching and learning support systems at an internet distance

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Barbour, Robert H.
Abstract	Projecting computing education trends forward into the near future in order to better understand the implications of present changes is a postmodern education research agenda. Such speculations are informed by present day events. Setting observed changes in computing education policy and practice against a constructivist theoretical framework based on semiotics points up the issues and contradictions in globalization trends. The emergent issues of expanding western hegemony and a flattening of cultural variety are addressed both from the point of view of technical issues and with respect to the pedagogy through which technologies could support diversity in learning and teaching contexts. The education sector has become more closely involved with Internet systems. This association has extended beyond national borders using the tools and techniques of software development to engage in an educational globalization process. The teaching and learning support systems (TLSS) that are currently emerging make possible learning at an Internet distance. Such trends have a number of consequences. These consequences are explored against a framework of post-modern critique. Undesirable consequences are identified and possible remedies suggested.
