Didactically Reflected Design and Integration of Digital Learning Environments
Susanne Digel, Didaktik der Mathematik Sekundarstufen, RPTU Landau
Digital learning environments are support systems for learners fostering active knowledge construction and enriched with interactive, computer-based elements. Accordingly, two objectives are decisive for the integration ofdigital learning environments in the classroom, to enable self-guided learning and to promote understanding. The former is achieved, for example, through consecutive tasks, direct feedback, accompanying note taking and digital elements incorporating multi-media learning ideas. Basic mental models (“Grundvorstellungen”) are a suitable base for the latter. The presentation will discuss design and integration principles for digital learning environments in the light of current research findings and illustrate them with examples.
