Personalised Education, Pedagogy, and Equity in the Higher Education Sector

Abstract

In this chapter, we aim to unsettle and unmask the discourse of e-mediated instruction and personalised learning. We look to re-see and rethink these terms through trajectories other than those often now provided to us. There is considerable literature that trumpets successes, but the literature also suggests that at present it is really difficult to navigate the terrain of e-mediated, personalised instruction in the higher education sector, even with the best of intentions. We outline many threats to the promise that this policy landscape holds, especially in relation to issues of distribution and participation if and when access is gained.
