Higher Education in a Postdigital World invites readers to engage in a radical reconceptualisation of learning spaces by challenging definitions of what counts as a learning space and asserting that bounded learning spaces are insufficient for learning in a postdigital era.
Chapters explore how learning spaces have expanded and evolved and how learners navigate, connect and apply structured and unstructured learning to answer three main questions:
• What kinds of learning spaces might enable social, emotional, cognitive and moral/ethical/spiritual identity development in postdigital learning environments?
• How is learning to be negotiated, constructed and embodied as a social practice within dynamic cultural contexts in the postdigital age?
• How do learners and educators design, experience and assess learning within and across various learning domains?
This book will encourage educators across disciplines to reimagine learning and development for a postdigital age.

Review :
Higher Education in a Postdigital World: Learning Everywhere is not simply a timely invitation to think about learning spaces in postdigital society, it is a personal call from these authors to everyone to be brave and radical in how we understand learning to take place everywhere. This is a necessary repositioning that acknowledges and embraces how individual learners can thrive, wherever our physical, virtual, ecological and social spaces intersect.

Some of us suspect that the next revolution in learning won't be driven by the newest technology or faddish experiential learning. If you're one of those people, this book is for you. It won't make the challenges of postdigital education any easier to address, but it will equip readers to respond in ways that are better suited to dynamic uncertainty, more grounded in the face of eroding binaries, and more genuinely oriented toward the people we hope to serve.
