The Future of Education

Peggy Bloomer is an Assistant Professor in Graphics/Information Design in the Art Department at Central Connecticut State University. She earned a Ph.D. in Media and Communications from the European Graduate School. Her research interests are in typography, with a special interest in screen fonts and technology. She is also interested in data visualization and the ways that data can reveal human stories visually. While Ms. Bloomer is not a digital native, she adopted technology early in her design practice. The assignments and the adaptation of Artificial Intelligence in the classroom discussed in this paper reflect this interest in the relationship of humans to technology and machines.

Dr. Bloomer is currently completing a post-graduate degree at The New Centre of Social Research and Policy in Art Curation.
