Why Dialogue Matters: Learning, Digitalization and Students' Conduct of Everyday Life

During recent years we can experience an extensive digitalization of higher education without corresponding reflection what these transformations mean for contemporary society and the activity of teaching and learning. The project takes this discrepancy up and investigates the digitalization of educational practice, in particular problem-oriented project learning. Learning represents an essential activity in future society and the question emerges in how far digital technologies can help to expand and enrich the practice of learning. What is the significance and relevance of digital artifacts for students’ learning activities? Where can they nourish the learning process and where are they more of a hindrance? How does digitalization transform the learners’ conduct of everyday life and activity of learning, and how can we, as learners as well as teachers, approach these transformations critically and constructively?
