Abstract
In an increasingly interconnected world, characterized by the ubiquity of digital technologies and the fluidity of learning spaces, new ways of conceptualizing the educational act are emerging. Contemporary learning ecosystems and ecologies are interactive, hybrid, liquid, and ubiquitous, shaping educational territories that transcend the physical boundaries of the classroom and expand into a global informational space where humans and non-humans coexist, interact, and learn.
These environments are constituted by digital pedagogical architectures that integrate platforms, interfaces, algorithms, conversational agents, and social networks, forming complex and dynamic ecosystems that demand new ways of inhabiting, teaching, and learning. Accordingly, through the analysis of these learning ecologies, some of the challenges and possibilities of networked digital education will be examined, advancing an integrated, critical, and situated perspective on the competencies required for teaching and learning in the age of the infosphere.
