Shaping the Futures of Learning in the Digital Age Special Issue: Call for Papers * Submission deadline extended to November 1st! The landscape of learning is broad, complex, and arguably the most important space in which humans can effect change on the world and shape the future that we (and new generations) will inhabit. There isn’t an industry, system, culture, or civilization that doesn’t rely on learning to inform, prepare, and cultivate the next generation of inhabitants of this world. The technology landscape of today is similarly broad and complex, with advancements in computing, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence that are transforming the way people interact with knowledge and information, one another, and our surrounding digital or natural environments.This special issue, Shaping the Futures of Learning in the Digital Age, invites contemporary work from scholars, practitioners, technologists, community members, and students on the futures of learning in the digital age. This issue welcomes submissions from a diverse transdisciplinary field of people, groups, and organizations that are thinking about, researching, designing, and creating the futures of learning.While this special issue includes a public call for papers, it is intentionally targeted to a growing community of “dreamers, doers, and drivers,” otherwise identified as changemakers, from across the world known as ShapingEDU that are looking to shape the futures of education. Founded at the University Technology Office at Arizona State University in 2018, the ShapingEDU community convenes annually to explore identified calls to action.
