Digital didactical designs: Re-imagining designs for teaching and learning using media tablets

Abstract

The approach of Digital Didactical Designs offers a new thinking for planning, doing and reflecting on teaching and learning. It uses the European tradition of Didaktik and scrutinizes teaching and learning as socially constructed forms of social practices. Results from our empirical research in Denmark and Sweden (higher education) point to teaching practices that attempts to change from traditional course-based learning into learning expeditions where the implementation of educational technology, in particular media tablets, is the lowest common denominator but still not the main focus for re-imagining old and new designs for teaching and learning.
