3 Questions for Chris Friend

  1. What obstacles did you face as you created Hybrid Pedagogy?
  2. In this day and age, would you say it’s no longer possible to be independent of digital technology, are there things we can still do without the use of digital technology?
  3. Do you feel that the widespread shift toward digital technology feels largely exciting because we now have a greater means of communication, or threatening since some people think integrating our lives with digital technology diminishes our character?

One thought on “3 Questions for Chris Friend”

  1. 1. I wasn’t one of the co-founders. However, I suspect a combination of time and labor created the biggest needs. There’s only so much three people can do to build something.

    2. I’d say it started long ago. If we remove screens and electronics, the technologies that preceded them were made for our hands and fingers—our digits. “Digital technology” is almost redundant.

    3. That’s a forced binary. But I do think the increase in communication is amazing. There’s an ability to become anonymized—converted into a data point—that concerns me. I don’t know that *our* character is at risk, but the ethics of our organizations must be held to standard.
