Digital Teaching and Learning Cultures
The “Digital Teaching and Learning Cultures” cluster is concerned with teaching and learning - today, tomorrow and for the future. The focus is on competence development for the digitalized living environment as well as application scenarios of digitally supported teaching and learning to implement new learning cultures.
One goal of the cluster is the (continued) development and research of media skills for various actors in formal, non-formal and informal education sectors, which have need of support. These actors are accompanied and supported in acquiring future-relevant competencies, constantly adapting and expanding them. This requires appropriate, future-proof concepts and offers on an individual and organizational level.
In addition, the “Digital Teaching and Learning Cultures” cluster deals with various application scenarios for digital teaching and learning. Both current trends and future developments are explored, and potential implementations in (educational) organizations are discussed.
Our current main topics:
- Media literacy development
- Media education in various educational venues (e.g. day care center, school, university, vocational training, further education)
- Research of new teaching-learning trends
- Development of new teaching/learning cultures (media didactic scenarios, lifelong learning, self-directed learning)
- Professionalization and qualification of teachers and (teacher) students with regard to digitalization-related media skills
- Further development of organizational and legal challenges when using digital media in teaching/learning contexts (e.g. the development of an e-assessment center)
