This excerpt from the Council of Europe’s “Exploring potential digital technologies for history education” publication investigates the impact of emerging digital technologies on history education, primarily focusing on artificial intelligence, extended reality, 5G connectivity, natural language processing, and gamification with learning analytics. The research methodology involved technological forecasting, the Futures Wheel, and the Delphi technique, using a survey of history teachers in the final stage.
The analysis explores the potential benefits and challenges of integrating these technologies, including concerns about digital literacy, data privacy, and ethical considerations. The authors ultimately advocate for balanced, informed approaches to digital integration, emphasizing the need for robust teacher training, collaboration between historians and education specialists, and careful assessment of the impact on student learning outcomes.
