Technology and New Cultures of Learning
An important general topic of research in the field of human learning concerns the impact of digital technologies on human learning and knowing. The main ambition of the project is to study how learning practices are transformed through the use of technologies. The generative theoretical interest behind our application is to study the relationship between human meaning-making, remembering and the use of external, digital tools.
