Please see details below of a new seminar series running from January 2014 exploring how computer code is interwoven with educational processes, institutions and practices. Full details can be found at: http://codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/seminars/ The Code Acts in Education seminar series seeks to understand how code and software algorithms are shaping how, when and where learning takes place – in the classroom, the university, the professional workplace, and throughout the lifecourse. The series is organised by researchers at the University of Stirling and University of Edinburgh schools of education, and is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. The series will set the stage for new research and new innovations exploring the emerging interdependencies between code and education, and will be of interest to researchers from social science and computer science disciplines, educational policy makers, and organisations involved in digital making and computing in education. The seminars will address unanswered questions about how code acts as a sociotechnical agent in education. It will focus on how code interacts with educational institutions—schools, colleges and HE; how code is interwoven with people’s lifelong learning within their everyday lives and communities; and how code acts on professional learning in workplaces. We will be asking how these interactions between code and education might impact on knowledge practices, pedagogic techniques, learner agency, identity formation and other aspects of ‘learning through code.’ We anticipate that the Code Acts in Education seminar series will generate a research network, research capacity, and a research agenda for the educational study of computer code.
