“Critical Digital Pedagogy in Higher Education,” edited by Suzan Köseoğlu, George Veletsianos, and Chris Rowell, is a seminal work that addresses the pressing need for a pedagogical shift in higher education. Rooted in the digital landscape, the book critiques traditional power structures and advocates for a learner-centred approach that resonates with students’ socio-cultural contexts. Drawing inspiration from Paulo Freire’s “Pedagogy of the Oppressed,” the editors present a contemplative framework that challenges educational norms and promotes critical consciousness, shared learning experiences, and a nurturing online environment.
The volume stands out for its collaborative nature, incorporating diverse expert voices to explore themes like care ethics, Indigenous knowledge, and the pervasive influence of digital tools. This approach not only enriches the discourse on digital pedagogy but also encourages the practical application of theory in contemporary teaching and learning. The book is a valuable resource for a wide audience, seeking to foster meaningful engagement and transform higher education in the post-COVID-19 era.
