Overview

"Learning in the Network Society and the Digitized School is a refereed research anthology focusing on how digitisation of society and school influence communities of practise, pedagogy, didactics, ICT and learning in the 21st century. This has become increasingly important during the digital revolution the last ten years and e.g. in Norway digital literacy have enjoyed a historic rise in their academic status, becoming the fifth core competence to be incorporated in all subjects at all age levels under the new national curriculum. This digitisation of society and school presents opportunities, challenges and dilemmas in the running of schools and the question that arises is to what extent this has any impact on young people's learning as well as students in higher education. The anthology aims to examine these issues from different methodological and theoretical perspectives, based on the overall theme ""research meets practise - practise meets research"". The anthology consists of 16 chapters with thematic areas as: ICT and personalisation, ICT and creativity, ICT and dialogical approaches, ICT and school development, Digital divides, Situated learning in the Network society, ICT in English-teaching, collaboration in virtual student-settings, ICT and learning, Digital didactics, Adapted education and ICT, and ICT and Pedagogy. The anthology aims to reflect ongoing educational research within these areas in Sweden, Norway and United Kingdom, but the anthology is highly relevant for all other countries dealing with implementation of ICT in education."
