The move to online learning has blurred the distinction between the Foucauldian conceptualisation of university as a 'Heterotopia' with the real world of contingent alternative learning spaces students create. In this paper, we highlight the need for a broader and more holistic approach to educational design which requires a re-conceptualisation of the learning environment to include the students' real-world spaces and their socio-cultural surroundings through a postdigital paradigm. We seek to understand how Covid-19 has accelerated postdigital disruption of the concept of university as heterotopia, where learning is traditionally highly structured and segmented in slices of time for seminars, lectures, and workshops. In April 2020, the University of Sydney Business School invited students to share stories of their remote learning experience using the #OurPlace2020 hashtag. Using Actor Network Theory (ANT), we analyse 37 digital stories to provide examples of how the boundaries of the traditional learning spaces of university campus are blurred with real-life learning spaces when students are studying remotely. We argue for the need to adopt a broader analytical approach that can elucidate the complexity of heterogenous networks of interacting digital and non-digital entities through which learning spaces are constructed.
向在线学习的转变模糊了福柯将大学概念化为“异托邦”与学生创造的偶然替代学习空间的现实世界之间的区别。在本文中,我们强调需要一种更广泛、更全面的教学设计方法,这需要通过后数字范式重新概念化学习环境,将学生的现实世界空间及其社会文化环境纳入其中。我们试图理解新冠疫情如何加速了大学作为异托邦概念的后数字颠覆,在传统观念中,大学学习在时间上高度结构化,分为研讨会、讲座和工作坊等不同时段。2020年4月,悉尼大学商学院邀请学生使用#OurPlace2020标签分享他们远程学习经历的故事。运用行动者网络理论(ANT),我们分析了37个数字故事,以举例说明当学生远程学习时大学校园传统学习空间的边界是如何与现实生活学习空间相模糊的。我们主张需要采用一种更广泛的分析方法,这种方法能够阐明通过构建学习空间的相互作用的数字和非数字实体的异质网络的复杂性。
