DDD2015 highlights the theme of
Tablet-Mediated Teaching and Learning, Wearables and Co. in Schools and Higher Education - Innovative Designs, Challenges and Unexpected Factors
The International Symposium takes place on 3-4 June 2015 organized by the DDD research group, Umeå University, Sweden. Register online at https://ddd2015.edusci.umu.se .
Do you want to know which new teaching and learning practices emerge when schools and universities use tablets such as ipads and wearables (e.g., GoogleGlass)? Do you want to discuss new forms of innovative pedagogy?
Then, it is time to come to Umeå!
Join us at the conference on "DDD2015″ from 3-4 June 2015 in Umeå
The conference wants to initiate
reflections about current understandings and new relationships of
learning, teaching, pedagogy and ICT, tablets in education, in schools
and higher education: What is the new normality of teaching and learning
in a digital media world? Challenges and unexpected factors will be
illustrated from different research studies. On Day 1, research studies
around tablet-mediated classrooms, Learning Expeditions and wearable
technology in the Nordic Countries will be presented and discussed. Day 2
focus on the International perspective. Learn from and discuss with
international experts and researchers.
We invited, for example, Gerry Stahl (USA), Ulrich Hoppe (Germany), Yishay Mor (UK), Andreas Lund (Norway), Ilona Buchem (Germany), Staffan Selander (Sweden), Swapna Kumar (USA) and Sean P. Goggins (USA).
We are looking forward to meeting you in Umeå.
Connecting people and different research fields; sharing ideas and communities - designing opportunities for learning - this was the slogan of the 1st symposium of Interactive Media and Learning in 2011 (IML2011). We continue with this tradition in DDD2015. We want to enable a creative event where we reflect existing studies and practices around tablet-mediated learning and wearable devices in teaching and learning. We want to challenge existing practices of ICT, media and learning.
Luciano Floridi (Oxford University) makes it clear, when he wrote "we are probably the last generation that makes a clear difference between offline and online spaces" (Floridi, 2014). We call this transition the emergence of co-expanded communication spaces, in short CrossActionSpaces (Jahnke, 2015/Routledge, in press). Designing for learning does not only require the design of a physical or virtual room but opportunities for learning expeditions. Schools and universities offer access to learning processes and reflections (and not only access to information).
