Course summary
About the course: The MSc Education (Digital and Social Change) is an exciting and innovative programme, in which you will develop a strong theoretical understanding of new technologies, education and society. At the core of the programme is a strong commitment to digital inclusion and social justice that addresses contemporary issues regarding the impact of digital and social change in education. You will conceptualise and design learning technologies through participatory approaches, examining how they impact the marginalised in the UK and globally. At a time when many people are discussing significant moral questions regarding technology and its use in education, including for example, the ethics of Artificial Intelligence, there is a pressing need for a new generation of researchers and practitioners that can affect social change through stronger theoretically-informed practice, design and policy. Building on the past success of the MSc Education (Learning and Technology), the department welcomes students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds including but not limited to education, computer science, sociology, communications and international development. You will have a commitment to social justice in education, a questioning stance on technology and an interest in developing interdisciplinary knowledge. Aims of the course Critically assess and understand the role of technology in education across the lifecourse Develop the expertise to address the challenges posed by digital inequality Understand how to embed innovative learning technologies in practice Cultivate design prototyping skills Understand the relationship between social justice, technology and learningAssessment: Students will complete six modules each assessed by either a written examination or a submitted assignment, and a dissertation on a topic selected by the student and approved by the supervisor. Graduate destinations: The most recent Oxford University Destination of Leavers from Higher Education Survey made contact with 635 master's course students who graduated from the Department of Education between 2012 and 2014. Altogether, 90. 2% of alumni were in work and 5. 8% in further study with only 2. 0% looking for work, ranking the department in the best three of the 20 departments in Oxford's Social Sciences Division. Although this is a new pathway begun in 2021, it builds on the success of our MSc Education (Learning and Technology). Alumni from that pathways have gone on to academic and research careers at universities in the UK and abroad, including MIT, LSE, Stanford, The Turing Institute and UCLA. Others have worked for international NGOs, various international organisations and also founded their own technology and consultancy start-ups.
