Handbook Learning with Digital Media

Digital media open up opportunities for differentiated instruction and a new learning culture, but they also pose risks if used uncritically. To what extent can they promote personalized and cooperative learning as well as effective teaching with heterogeneous groups? This handbook provides concrete impulses for school and instructional development based on the current state of practice and scientific research. The authors specifically address the characteristics of competency-oriented instruction and examine how the use of digital media is particularly suited for this pedagogical concept. Other contributions deal with learning platforms, learning analytics, and instructional concepts that envision a hybrid, that is, a mixed use of digital and analog learning settings. The handbook concludes with an overview of digital media in teaching, offers didactic recommendations, and presents ideas for practical application.
