This course was taught in German in winter semester 2021 at the University of Vienna.
Content
In this seminar, students explore how anti-discriminatory teaching and learning can be facilitated and linked to digital empowerment. They gain an understanding of why it is important to consciously ask how to reach as many learners as possible. This includes reflecting on internalized notions and becoming aware of possible, unconscious moments of exclusion. Furthermore, it is important to consider – in an increasingly digitalized world – how the available digital media/games/apps can be used in an empowering way. For this purpose, the seminar will on the one hand deal with current research results from the field and on the other hand try out their translation into possible actions.
