Learning about learning through technology

Abstract

Technology, through its manifold and ubiquitous nature, constantly re-enters and reshapes our experiences, thoughts and modes of learning. Philosophy of technology can offer us an enhanced sensitivity to this matter. However, as a field it has many different perspectives to offer. In this paper, I will present some of these perspectives but I will argue that Heidegger‘s philosophy of technology that is considered "essentialist" brings a special philosophical depth to the discussion concerning learners and the world from which they learn.
