“Connected learner, augmented learner: seamlessness of educational data flow inside the transhuman educational system“
In his research project, Mikhail explores the concepts of ‘connectedness’ and ‘seamlessness’ in relation to the philosophy of education and the philosophy of technology.
His hypothesis is that a seamless educational experience constructed by the ICT-driven educational systems has to be filled with intentional and unintentional interruptions and disruptions in order to support human agency.
