This book advances a critical political economy approach to EdTech and analyses the economic, political and ideological structures and social power relations that shape the EdTech industries and drive EdTech’s development and diffusion. Particular attention is paid to the integration of EdTech with some of the most contentious developments of our time, including platformization and data-veillance, the automation of work and labor, and globalization-imperialism. By using a political economy of communication approach, this book will be of value to anyone interested in the current transformations of capitalism, the State, higher education and online learning in the digital age.

The work of teachers is not just to teach. We are also responsible for the basic needs of students. Helping students eat and live, and also helping them find the tools they need to reflect on the present moment. This is exactly in keeping with Paulo Freire's insistence that critical pedagogy be focused on helping students read their world; but more and more, we must together reckon with that world. Teaching must be an act of imagination, hope, and possibility. Education must be a practice done with hearts as much as heads, with hands as much as books. Care has to be at the center of this work.For the past ten years, Hybrid Pedagogy has worked to help craft a theory of teaching and learning in and around digital spaces, not by imagining what that work might look like, but by doing, asking after, changing, and doing again. Since 2011, Hybrid Pedagogy has published over 400 articles from more than 200 authors focused in and around the emerging field of critical digital pedagogy. A selection of those articles are gathered here. This is the first peer-reviewed publication centered on the theory and practice of critical digital pedagogy. The collection represents a wide cross-section of both academic and non-academic culture and features articles by women, Black people, indigenous people, Chicanx and Latinx writers, disabled people, queer people, and other underrepresented populations. The goal is to provide evidence for the extraordinary work being done by teachers, librarians, instructional designers, graduate students, technologists, and more - work which advances the study and the praxis of critical digital pedagogy.

With the rise of digital technology, educators must adapt quickly, especially in higher education. "Pedagogical Resilience, from Class to Digital Room" examines how Brazilian educators addressed technology adoption during the pandemic. It sheds light on their experiences, challenges, and innovative strategies for integrating technology into higher education during COVID-19. The book provides insights into local and international educational landscapes by placing Brazil in the global discussion. The research reveals how educators' preferences, subject matter, and institutional policies influence technology adoption. These aspects help us understand how pedagogy and technology intersect in different contexts and open for discussion about how decision-makers may impact students' development. This research also led to the development of the "Inverted Mirror" instrument. This tool helps visualize comparisons and uncover hidden aspects in qualitative and comparative studies. Initiated at Stockholm University as part of a master's degree in International and Comparative Education, the research received support from professors who confirmed the instrument's relevance. A dedicated section in the book explains the "Inverted Mirror" instrument's functionalities and components. This book invites readers to learn from Brazilian educators' experiences and explore how technology is changing teaching methods.
