Cultural Inclusivity and Quality in the Design of Technology-Enhanced Learning Systems

Stanley Frielick

Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Autopoiesis and 4E+ Cognition in the Design of Digital Learning Affordances” by Claudio Aguayo. Abstract: I agree with Aguayo that the design of technology-enhanced learning systems should be based on a living systems perspective, and that autopoiesis and 4E+ cognition have rich potential to develop this line of thinking. However, we need to examine some assumptions about “technology-enhanced learning” and consider how this term might be problematic for developing culturally inclusive learning systems. We also need to consider the extent to which the autopoiesis and 4E+ cognition approach can improve the quality of learning.
