Three years ago we started to build this Global MBA. A high stakes programme, with many details, delivered in a new way for the school. So many hours of discussion about design, endless late nights of editing, a whole team gritting teeth to create a progr…lnkd.in/eAcJaef7

No easy answers! From the panel: being an ally (not a saviour); not just top down 'we know best' - hear educators/students in colonised contexts; focus on research from diverse researchers, professional bodies like @A_L_T engaging(/leading) a global discussion #altwm_decolonise

Difficulty but key question: "How to balance opening the table to marginalised groups vs not dumping all the emotional labour on them for training the rest of the world to respect them?" #altwm_decolonise

@DustinHosseini @A_L_T I wouldn't penalise anyone for using '~ize' or non '~or' English as I don't own the language - but I definitely have a personal preference! For the materials we create, we try to pick a standard to stick to - just like a ref system - more for consistency and coherence.

@a8dessus @A_L_T What gets me is how either side (UK v US English) gets up in arms about insisting upon you using "their" standard in terms of academic writing etc. Both (and likley others) are valid so why not just allow both?

Attending the Decolonising Learning Technology webinar today from @A_L_T . Looking forward to challenging my own assumptions! #altwm_decolonise (also really happy that's spelled without a Z - maybe showing my own prejudice :s)

@2standandstare presenting on Anti-Racism in Learning Tech working group. Great to hear that people are focussing on trying to tackle these issues. How can we avoid being being not just bystanders but also perpetuators of injustice through what we build? #altwm_decolonise

Great to see a more detailed definition of decolonisation @johntraxler Not just making space for minorities/ migrant communities, but highlighting colonial structures, and challenging them. As much as we wish, technology is rarely neutral (or neutrally used). #altwm_decolonise

Sonya Strydom from SA: decolonisation all the more urgent as we see increasing discussion of AI and automation in education. AI is as neutral as the people who build it! (spoiler: probably not very diverse and quite narrow learning sets) #altwm_decolonise

Western influences are pervasive in learning technology from gestures, terms, icons, emoticons and graphic interfaces to VLEs that shape and impact cultural dominance and hence disadvantage other cultures #ALTWM_decolonise
