This publication was the result of the communications and debates at the First Luso-Brazilian Seminar: Pedagogy, Online Learning and Digital Technologies in Higher Education, carried out by the Group of educational policies and educational dynamics (GRUPOEDE) of the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of the 20th Century (CEIS20). by the Mobile Research Unit in Local Studies (ELO) of the Open University and by the Porto Delegation of the same University, which was held in Coimbra in May 2017. This meeting was a space for the exchange of experiences and reflection around the emerging learning environments, based on digital technologies in the context of higher education. Starting from distance or face-to-face teaching, the various chapters discuss the impact of digital learning on the construction of teaching processes, the construction of a differentiated didactics, the emergence of new educational paradigms, but above all, they seek to map ways of innovation that are being built and consolidated in Portugal and Brazil.

This Open Access book investigates the methodological and ethical dilemmas involved when working with digital technologies and large-scale datasets in relation to ethnographic studies of digital migration practices and trajectories. Digital technologies reshape not only every phase of the migration process itself (by providing new ways to access, to share and preserve relevant information) but also the activities of other actors, from solidarity networks to border control agencies. In doing so, digital technologies create a whole new set of ethical and methodological challenges for migration studies: from data access to data interpretation, privacy protection, and research ethics more generally. Of specific concern are the aspects of digital migration researchers accessing digital platforms used by migrants, who are subject to precarious and insecure life circumstances, lack recognised papers and are in danger of being rejected and deported. Thus, the authors call for new modes of caring for (big) data when researching migrants’ digital practices in the configuration of migration and borders. Besides taking proper care of research participants’ privacy, autonomy, and security, this also spans carefully establishing analytically sustainable environments for the respective data sets. In doing so, the book argues that it is essential to carefully reflect on researchers’ own positioning as being part of the challenge they seek to address.

After a long time of neglect, Artificial Intelligence is once again at the center of most of our political, economic, and socio-cultural debates. Recent advances in the field of Artificial Neural Networks have led to a renaissance of dystopian and utopian speculations on an AI-rendered future. Algorithmic technologies are deployed for identifying potential terrorists through vast surveillance networks, for producing sentencing guidelines and recidivism risk profiles in criminal justice systems, for demographic and psychographic targeting of bodies for advertising or propaganda, and more generally for automating the analysis of language, text, and images. Against this background, the aim of this book is to discuss the heterogenous conditions, implications, and effects of modern AI and Internet technologies in terms of their political dimension: What does it mean to critically investigate efforts of net politics in the age of machine learning algorithms? »Eine ungewöhnlich perspektivenreiche Publikation. Interessant [...] für Lehrende und Forschende, die nach neuen Denkanstößen suchen.« Alexander Godulla, Communicatio Socialis, 4 (2020)

What is trust and how new technologies are changing or affecting the concept of trust? This publication offers insights from researchers working in educational technology and distance education, collected in the frame of the European FP-7 Marie-Curie People project “Stimulators and inhibitors of a culture of trust in educational interactions assisted by modern information and communication technology”, and provides examples of implications of trust for successful learning experiences in distance education. The research goal is to understand how trust has changed or is changing: this is related not only to the modification of the meaning, but also indicators upon which people built their judgements.
