Reflecting on the effects of digital artefacts in different kinds of pedagogical practice – understood in the broad sense of the term, i.e. everyday settings, formal as well as informal learning environments – is one of the major challenges for not just pedagogics and interaction design, but also for the intersection of the two areas. In attempting to set the agenda for education in the 21st century, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union has stated that digital competence is one of eight key competences for lifelong learning.Through their recommendations, learning is not only understood as a lifelong endeavour, but also that the formal educational systems provide only a subset of all different settings where learning and development occur.
The areas of interaction design and pedagogical development are both characterised as design-oriented fields of research requiring a need to consider aspects such as social and physical contexts, conflicting goals of participating actors, understanding the target groups, etc. Yet another major challenge is how digital technology is appropriated in pedagogical practices, both as artefacts as well as ways of working and experiencing.
An indicative list of possible topics include:
- interactive artefacts in school setting
- digital divides and digital inclusion ins pedagogical practices
- digital technology and novel pedagogical practices
- design of learning settings
- interaction design and learning
- interaction design and lifelong learning
- digital literacy and pedagogical development
- methodological issues
We welcome theoretical, empirical, practice based, methodological (etc.) papers.
Submission
Invitation to the workshop will be based on accepted position papers, 2-4 pages in length. The position papers should include aim of the paper, theoretical framework, methodological outline, and tentative results.
Papers should be electronically submitted in PDF to m3@sh.se, no later than October 1st 2007. Paper submissions will be reviewed by the workshop program committee. Papers will be evaluated based on quality, originality, relevance, and presentation in relation to the workshop and special issue theme. We will select app. 20 papers for the workshop.
Special issue
The best papers (app. 5-7) from the workshop will be selected for a journal length submission to a special issue of Digital Kompetanse/Nordic Journal of Digital Literacy. The special issue is to be published in early 2008.
