Education Fiction aims to inspire readers who are passionate about critically exploring possible futures of education and learning. This edited volume addresses key educational issues of our present and future through a collection of short stories. In today’s educational landscape, shaped by rapid AI developments, a climate crisis, and growing commercial interests, Education Fiction provides a space to reflect on current trends and envision alternative possibilities for education.This book introduces the concept of education fiction and demonstrates its versatility. Each short story is accompanied by critical reflections that connect imagination to educational research and practice, highlighting how fiction can make research more accessible, engaging, and emotionally resonant. By moving beyond the constraints of academic formality, education fiction encourages “thinking otherwise” and imagining education futures.This book is written for everyone with an interest in education, particularly educators and researchers seeking to reimagine education. It can also be used in teacher education, professional development, and futures-thinking workshops for educators, faculty, and educational leaders.

Open innovation increases the profit of companies and organizations via the input and the adoption of new ideas that are transformed into new processes, products, and services. Yet, how do we ensure that adopters of such innovations focus on relevant problems and use appropriate methods?  How should we manage open innovation technologies? How can we exploit distributed knowledge and inventions? And how can we promote them successfully on the market? With valuable lessons to be learned from academic research and industrial experiences of e.g. Intel, Nokia, Philips Healthcare, small municipalities, e-learning platforms and user communities, this book focuses on some of the key dimensions of open innovation and open innovation technologies. It is divided into three themes: theme 1 deals with open innovation as it is in use today, including theoretical underpinnings and lessons from related research fields. Theme 2 analyzes the use of open innovation in organizations today in order to extract best practices. Theme 3 presents forward-looking theoretical research as well as practical future uses of open innovation. Each chapter addresses the particular topics by presenting experiences and results gained in real life projects and/or by empirical research, and clearly states its purpose and how readers are supposed to benefit from it. Overall, the objectives of this book are to advance and disseminate research on systematic open innovation, and to make its results available to practitioners. Thus, the intended target audience includes the international academic community, industrial enterprises, and public authorities.

Visuell kultur är i dag en central del av skolämnet bild och kan användas för att beskriva både de visuella uttryck som omger oss och metoder för att skapa och visualisera ny kunskap. I den här boken lyfter författarna fram visuell kultur både som ett kunskapsobjekt och som en undersökningsmetod. Boken erbjuder ingångar till olika sätt att arbeta med bild i grund­skolan. Alla kapitel innehåller konkreta förslag på uppgifter eller övningar som kan anpassas och utvecklas vidare. Boken riktar sig till lärarstudenter och verksamma lärare i F-6 och på fritidshem. Den kan användas både i bildundervisning och i ämnes­övergripande eller tematiska projekt. Redaktörerna forskar inom området visuell kultur och har alla tre erfarenhet av att undervisa blivande lärare i bild mot yngre åldrar och fritidshem.
