Dr. Carmen Flury

Carmen Flury is a historian of education with a focus on digital education and educational technology. She is particularly interested in how educational media and technologies have evolved, and how the practices of their development and use in schools have changed over time. Her research situates the processes of digitalisation in education within a broader socio-cultural, political and economic context. She uses a historical perspective to trace the longer-term trajectories of digital media and technologies in schools, with the aim of shedding light on how they have influenced pedagogy and teaching methods.
