Accepted Papers

This final ICE symposium invited papers around the broad theme of ‘digital difference’. ‘Cyberspace’ seems now to be a term belonging to an earlier era of internet thinking, one in which the separateness of the digital was its main determining feature. In the contexts of higher education, is it still helpful (was it ever helpful?) for us to think of technologies for learning as offering a space of radical difference from the realities, materialities and orthodoxies of conventional practice? As with previous ICE events, we requested contributions which offered any combination of conceptual, critical, empirical, theoretical or experimental work, that related in some way to the symposium’s key theme.

The accepted papers explore, extend, challenge or affirm this question of digital difference. The questions suggested here offer just some starting points for participants to be considering. They are posted as a wiki in a way which we hope might lure both participants and presenters to extend, amend and improve them.

Previous symposia have resulted in the publication of a book – Ideas in Cyberspace Education (2004) and a special double issue of the journal E-learning. Similar routes for publication will be pursued for papers resulting from this final ICE.
