| Abstract (ENG): |
In this paper we will take a closer look at the relationship between users and New Media — in particular at learning technology. Our starting point is that
New Media have a lot of potential, but for eLearning
the expected lift-off hasn’t taken place yet, a problem
that is being tackled by the evolving learner-centered
technology. We may ask under which conditions such a
relationship becomes compatible (i.e. yielding a positively connoted Media Society) or incompatible (i.e.
resulting in a so-called Medea society in analogy to
the tragic ending of the Greek tale about Medea’s and
Jason’s relationship). We argue that the recent stress
on placing the learner in control is necessary but not
yet sufficient as it addresses the relationship between
learner and learning technology as a one-sided partnership: only the user’s status is lifted to a true partner. Therefore, we are arguing for a full partnership.
In particular, media designers should set the interaction frame in such a way that mutual partnership can
evolve. We discuss three math learning environments
and their underlying models to illustrate the connection between full partnership and interaction frame |
