The Futures of Learning research and kits for Victorian Design teachers were made possible through the support of Creative Futures Ltd, which established the Creative Futures Design Research and Education Fund at the University of Melbourne. The coda by Vanessa Riley is derived from her Master of Teaching research (unpublished) thesis, supervised by Associate Professor Kathryn Coleman at the University of Melbourne. We (the authors) acknowledge the Birrarung (Yarra River), ‘a river of mists and shadows’, Wurun (the Manna gum) and the Djeri (grub) that have lived together within the ecology of the landscape where we think, work, teach, and learn at the University of Melbourne.¹ We offer our respect to Aboriginal elders, past and present, recognising their continuing contribution to caring for Country. We do this with an understanding that sovereignty has not been ceded. We look to the layers of knowledge, languages, and ways of being, that First Nations cultures embody to inform how we shape our digital sites of practice. This teaches us reciprocity in our relationships with all things, past, present, future.
