(Dis)Orienting Media and Narrative Mazes
(Dis)Orientation appears to be a phenomenon that is connected to media in numerous respects: today, finding your way in the world often means finding your way with the help of as well as within media, which in turn creates new virtual realms of (dis)orientation. This book deals with recent media technologies and structures (navigation devices, databases, transmediality) and unconventional narrative patterns (narrative complexity, plot twists, non-linearity), using the ambivalent concept of (dis)orientation as a shared focus to analyse various phenomena of contemporary media, thereby raising overarching questions about current mediascapes.
The Grand Scribe's Records, Volume VII
This volume is part of the first complete translation (in nine volumes) of the Shih chi (The Grand Scribe's Records), one of the most important narratives in traditional China. Compiled by Ssu-ma Ch'ien (145-c. 86 B.C.), it draws upon most major early historical works and was the foremost model for style and genre in Chinese history and literature through the eleventh century A. D., and through the early twentieth century for some genres. Volume 7, The Memoirs of Pre_Han China, translates twenty-eight Lieh-chuan or "memoirs" which depict more than a hundred men and women: sages and scholars, recluses and rhetoricians, persuaders and politicians, commandants and cutthroats of the Ch'in and earlier dynasties. Although the memoirs also begin with what is now often considered myth—an account of the renowned recluses Po Yi and Shu Ch'i—the emphasis in these texts is on the fate of various states and power centers as seen through the biographies of key individuals from the seventh to the third centuries B. C.
Medien & Bildung
Medien und Bildung hängen auf vielfältige Weise zusammen, auch wenn der Medienbegriff nicht auf 'Neue' oder 'elektrische' Medien verkürzt wird. Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen medientechnologischen Entwicklungen und der damit zusammenhängenden kulturellen Veränderungen sind (neue) Medien zu einem 'prioritären Thema' geworden, das die Bildungswissenschaften in ihrem institutionellen und disziplinären Selbstverständnis betrifft. Dieser Band dokumentiert ein interdisziplinäres Diskussionsfeld, das von der Philosophie und Soziologie über die Kunst-, Medien- und Kulturwissenschaften bis zur Informatik reicht und den Raum für ein breit angelegtes Nachdenken über pädagogisch-praktische wie bildungstheoretische Implikationen des medienkulturellen Wandels im Rahmen einer globalisierenden 'Wissensgesellschaft' öffnet.

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Technology-enhanced Learning – Interdisziplinäre Zugänge zum technologiegestützen Lernen
„Interdisziplinäre Zugänge zum technologiegestützten Lernen“ war der Titel einer Tagung des DFG-Graduiertenkollegs „Qualitätsverbesserung im E-Learning durch rückgekoppelte Prozesse“ an der TU Darmstadt im Sommer 2009. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes sind aus Vorträgen und Diskussionen dieser Tagung hervorgegangen. Sie repräsentieren neue Perspektiven auf technologiegestütztes Lernen aus unterschiedlichen disziplinären Blickwinkeln. Unter vier leitenden Gesichtspunkten wenden sich die Beiträge der Frage zu, was im Bereich des technologiegestützten Lernens als „Qualität“ verstanden und entwickelt werden kann: Teil 1: Learning (in) Networks. Vom Lernen in Netzen zu lernende...
Controversial History Education in Asian Contexts
This book examines both history textbook controversies AND teaching historical controversy in Asian contexts. The different perspectives provided by the book’s authors offer numerous insights, examples, and approaches for understanding historical controversy to provide a practical gold mine for scholars and practitioners. The book provides case studies of history textbook controversies ranging from treatments of the Nanjing Massacre to a comparative treatment of Japanese occupation in Vietnamese and Singaporean textbooks to the differences in history textbooks published by secular and Hindu nationalist governments in India. It also offers a range of approaches for teaching historical controversy in classrooms. These include Structured Academic Controversy, the use of Japanese manga, teaching controversy through case studies, student facilitated discussion processes, and discipline-based approaches that can be used in history classrooms. The book’s chapters will help educational researchers and curricularists consider new approaches for curriculum design, curriculum study, and classroom research.
