摘要

The application of technology in education has often been proposed as a positive support to improve access to and quality of education generally. However, research on technology in prison-based education is limited. This paper investigates the existing literature on educational programming in youth correctional institutions, and the role of technology in such programs, in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand – three nations with a shared history of colonialism, overincarceration of Indigenous people, and similar programming priorities. We discuss the lack of technology-supported prison-based educational programming and provide insight into potential paths forward in the development of technology-supported education programs in correctional settings.
