(Im)mobilities and (dis)locating practices in cyber education
Richard EdwardsThe Stirling Institute of Education
University of Stirling
New mobilities
‘…if you click on a bubble or a little image… wooosh! You can move into sort of a parallel universe of electronic hyperspace.’ Lecturer
‘Space is not static (i.e. time-less), nor time spaceless…spatiality and temporality are different from each other but neither can be conceptualised as the absence of the other’. Massey (1993: 155)
Technologies
• Space-time compression• Speed• Interweaving of spatialities and temporalities• Dwelling and reflection• Mobility and connecting
Place and movement• Location, immobility, place, bounded, authentic,
face-to-face, parochial
• Dislocation, mobility, nomadism, relational, superficial, mediated, cosmopolitanism
• (Im)mobilities are ‘hybrid systems, “materialities and mobilities” that combine objects, technologies, socialities and affects out of which distinct places are produced and reproduced’ (Hannam et al. 2006: 14).
Spatial binaries in cyber education
• virtual-real spaces • immaterial-material spaces • cyber-physical spaces
Cyber case-based learning
Taking students ‘out of their comfort zone’. Lecturer
‘You see how everything is fitting together’. Student
Cases as bounded or expanding universes
