You are cordially invited to the South African Education Research Association (SAERA) Joint SIG Webinar: Curriculum Studies and Educational Technologies.
The South African Education Research Association’s Special Interest Groups for Curriculum Studies and Educational Technologies invite you to a joint webinar. This webinar provides a space for curriculum and educational technologies scholars to critically engage with the evolving role of AI and its effects on curriculum in higher education. This webinar provides a space for curriculum and educational technologies scholars to critically engage with the evolving relationships between students, lecturers, technologies, and educational environments — relationships that are becoming increasingly complex, entangled, and ethically charged. Framed through the emerging concept of learning-centred assemblages, the conversation moves beyond traditional binaries such as learner-centredness and teacher-centredness. Instead, it foregrounds learning as a relational, co-constituted, and contextually embedded process—a dynamic assemblage of human and more-than-human actants, including students, lecturers, AI tools, institutional policies, and ecological conditions.
This conversation is particularly urgent in light of current debates about generative AI, the reconfiguration of teaching and assessment practices, and the ethical and ecological responsibilities of curriculum design in the 21st century. Learning-centred assemblages invitediverse perspective to reimagine curriculum as a pedagogical ecology grounded in responsiveness, intra-action, and affirmative ethics—opening possibilities for just, sustainable, and transformative educational futures. All those committed to reimagining curriculum in higher education—and to exploring how it might better serve the purposes of meaningful, ethical, and responsible learning—are warmly invited to join this critical and creative dialogue.
