Educational Technology: Interdisciplinary, Innovative, Disruptive

Artificial Intelligence, game-based-learning, virtual reality and social media influence the life of each and every individual and each individual in turn impacts society. The interactions and changes, along with a realistic assessment of potentials and limitations, are the focus of the cluster.

Digital technologies accompany us

... in our living and learning worlds. They change the way we look at society, and a changed society has an impact on technological developments. It is important to observe these interactions in order to anticipate future developments and to be prepared for possible futures. Digitization and digitalization ultimately lead to digital transformation processes that, due to their complexity, must be subjected to a well-founded, evidence-based examination and raise new questions: How will humans and machines work together in the future and what does this collaboration mean for the education system? How does artificial intelligence change teaching and learning processes? What are the consequences of media convergence phenomena and how should these phenomena be taken into account in the education system? What competencies do lifelong learners need when dealing with digital technologies?
