This edited collection presents a Nordic perspective on intensified discussions concerning digitalization and digital competence in the current trends of educational work. Using a multidisciplinary and holistic approach, the book compares Nordic countries’ attitudes towards the digitalization of education and demonstrates the Nordic region’s position as digital front-runners in a European and a global context. The book provides up-to-date cases and future-oriented perspectives on digitalization and digital competence in educational work. Chapters use empirical data gained from policy documents, interviews, and questionnaires to present nuanced discussions, theoretical perspectives, and implications for the future of digitalization in education. Ultimately, this book’s reach far exceeds that of its Nordic contexts and will be of use to postgraduate students, researchers, and scholars across the globe involved with digital education, teacher education, and educational policy and politics more broadly.
This book delineates a comprehensive framework designed to ultimately assist organizations as they navigate the critical juncture—often termed the inflection point—in adopting generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). Addressing the exigent shift in organizational strategy mandated by Industry 4.0, and urging a transition from mere digital transformation to what is being progressively understood as "generative transformation,” it fills a conspicuous lacuna in both academic and practical discourses by presenting a timely synthesis of research, empirical studies, and case analyses. The authors utilize an interdisciplinary methodology, bridging the epistemological divide between the techno...
This book offers a multimodal perspective on how to design meaningful learning experiences with digital technologies. Digital education is of increasing importance in today’s digital society and the editors bring together international thought-leaders and well-established academics across geographical regions to explore the topic. The book addresses the need to design learning with digital technologies, especially in a post-pandemic environment where blended learning has become ubiquitous. The book is organised around five themes: designing learning, digital learning designs, digital learning with embodied teaching, digital learning interactions, and digital multimodal literacies. The chap...

This book explores the integration of AI-powered chatbots such as ChatGPT into higher education for instructional and communication purposes. The author emphasizes the responsibility of higher education institutions to equip students with advanced skills for writing with AI assistance, and prepare them for an increasingly AI-driven world. Offering numerous practical tips, the book demonstrates how universities can increase student success, and stem the rising cost of higher education by employing AI tools. The chapters discuss streamlining tasks such as grading, providing feedback, and handling administrative duties, to show how educators can be enabled to focus on more meaningful aspects of...
This book explores multidimensional issues concerning digital resilience and analyzes how people and organizations maintain, enhance and protect value stemming from digital technologies. Society is now heading for a future in which organizations and people will increasingly depend on digital technologies, yet to date many are still unaware of the scale and risks associated with the digital transformation. As a result, there is an urgent need for digital resilience to drive a fundamental shift in the way people and organizations understand digital technologies, risks and opportunities. The book gathers a selection of the best papers presented at the annual conference of the Italian chapter of AIS, which took place in Trento, Italy, in October 2021. The diverse range of views put forward by the authors makes it particularly relevant for scholars and practitioners interested in organization, and for all of us living in the digital transformation era.
Employing a unique generational approach, this book critically assesses social media in educational contexts across all educational levels: from primary and secondary schools to further and higher education, proposing a schema for social media literacy (SML). Using research obtained from fieldwork observations conducted in online teaching groups, surveys, and in-depth interviews with teachers and educators on the topic of social media and education, chapters interrogate the historical relationship between educator and learner, and use the frame of expert methodology to understand what educators themselves consider important about social media and education relative to their sectors. Bringing...

Theorien sind für die Wissenschaften notwendig, denn ohne sie ist Weltverstehen nicht möglich. Wie aber steht es um Theorieentwicklung und Theoriediskussion in den gesellschaftswissenschaftlichen Fachdidaktiken? Die Beiträge des Heftes fragen unter anderem nach Möglichkeiten theoretischer Forschung, nach dem Verhältnis von pädagogischen und fachwissenschaftlichen Theorien sowie nach jenem von Fachlichkeit und Transdisziplinarität in den Gesellschaftswissenschaften. Hinzu kommen Beiträge zu den Theoriekonzepten Dialektik und Urteilsfähigkeit.
