🟡Biases & inequalities in technology
🟡 #Surveillance Capitalism in Ed-Tech

Second panel - Decolonising #EdTech 💻

'There is a power asymmetry between schools and the EdTech industry' -Priscila Gonsales

Speakers discuss whether Ed-Tech can increase quality and access to #Education 📈 and the effects of these technologies on education in the #GlobalSouth

Taskeen Adam defining decolonising education/ed-tech as taking a geopolitical approach to breakdown relationships of power. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education

Marina Avelar speaking of new actors and intermediaries in ed-tech- philanthropies, software companies, etc. And they bring to the table their particular worldviews (eg. tech-solutionism, profit orientation).

The role of the human - including those who have made the content or curriculum is invisibilised.

Siddhi Gupta speaks about how ed-tech positions itself as the the single route to reach what they claim is the single goal of education. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education

Audience question : how are the knowledges of indigenous people incorporated into the design of international assessments? #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education

Are standardized assessments inherently epistemically unjust or can they be improved to be epistemically inclusive?

#ITACEC #NORRAG

Celebrates how these south led assessments are bringing together culturally sensitivity with comparability. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education

Baela Raza Jamil laying out the usual landscape of assessment - with the 'credentialled view from the top' and the 'duty bearers' carrying out this vision. And how there is a rise of South-led experiments on large-scale assessment. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education

Speaks of how universal design, a focus on testing minimum requirements will challenge cultural bias but the problem of of epistemic justice goes beyond assessment to the whole enterprise of education.
