Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Autopoiesis and 4E+ Cognition in the Design of Digital Learning Affordances” by Claudio Aguayo. Abstract: An autopoietic educational system may provide for immersive individualised learning experiences that cater to the unique interests of each student; however, universities generally require uniformity in education to enable group assessments and accreditation and thus do not readily accommodate individualised tuition. A further challenge is that for a system to be autopoietic, it should be able to create its own rules; this may be at odds with the educator’s goals for their courses.
