Didactics of Smart Pedagogy: Smart Pedagogy for Technology Enhanced Learning
by Linda DanielaThe focus on smart education has become a new trend in the global educational field. Some countries have already developed smart education systems and there is increasing pressure coming from business and tech communities to continue this development. Simultaneously, there are only fragmented studies on the didactic aspects of technology usage. Thus, pedagogy as a science must engage in a new research direction—smart pedagogy. This book seeks to engage in a new research direction, that of smart pedagogy. It launches discussions on how to use all sorts of smart education solutions in the context of existing learning theories and on how to apply innovative solutions in order to reduce the marginalization of groups in educational contexts. It also explores transformations of pedagogical science, the role of the educator, applicable teaching methods, learning outcomes, and research and assessment of acquired knowledge in an effort to make the smart education process meaningful to a wide audience of international educators, researchers, and administrators working within and tangential to TEL.
Die Maschine: Mensch und Technologie im digitalen Zeitalter
by Caja Thimm Thomas Christian BächleDie Maschine – Freund oder Feind? Selbstverständlich folgt darauf keine eindeutige Antwort, denn in den bekannten Deutungen des Verhältnisses zwischen den Maschinen und den Menschen findet sich immer beides. Spätestens mit der industriellen Revolution ist die Maschine zum Objekt sehr ambivalenter Bewertungen geworden. Sie symbolisiert Fortschritt und Erlösung und gilt doch zugleich als Ursache und Antreiber gesellschaftlicher Konflikte. Eine ähnliche Ambivalenz ist auch heute zu beobachten: Die Angst vor der Maschine ist nicht nur mit Themen wie dem Verschwinden der Arbeit verbunden, sondern mit dystopischen Vorstellungen vom vollständigen Untergang der Menschheit: Künstliche Intelligenz beherrscht menschliches Denken und Handeln, die Manipulationsmacht durch digitale Großkonzerne führt zu einem „Feudalismus 2.0“. Gerade weil die Angst vor den Maschinen und ihren sozialen und politischen Auswirkungen als Topos aus dem größeren Kontext des Mensch-Technik-Verhältnisses bekannt ist, kommt der mit diesem Band verfolgten Aktualisierung dieser Debatte ein wichtiger Stellenwert zu.Der InhaltDie Maschine: Metapher, Mythos, Objekt ● Der Mensch als „Gehirnmaschine“ ● Die schöne neue Cyborg-Welt im japanischen Anime ● Autonome Systeme, Roboter und ethische Implikationen ● Digitaler Feudalismus ● Computer gegen Arbeiter: Digitale Technologien und das Verschwinden der Arbeit ● „Hochinvasive Überwachung“ ● Autonome Waffensysteme und die Imagination menschlicher Kontrolle ● Internetsucht ● Die Digitalisierung menschlicher ReproduktionDie HerausgeberDr. Caja Thimm ist Professorin für Medienwissenschaft und Intermedialität in der Abteilung Medienwissenschaft des Instituts für Sprach-, Medien- und Musikwissenschaft der Universität Bonn.Dr. Thomas Christian Bächle ist Medienwissenschaftler und leitet am Alexander von Humboldt Institut für Internet und Gesellschaft (HIIG) in Berlin das Forschungsprogramm „Die Entwicklung der digitalen Gesellschaft“.
Die Unschuld der Maschinen: Technikvertrauen in einer smarten Welt
by Mario DonickDieses Buch zeigt Ihnen, worauf das menschliche Vertrauen in Technik basiert Tablet. Smartphone. GPS. In unserer zunehmend smarten und digitalen Gesellschaft sind wir permanent gezwungen, Technik zu vertrauen – im Kleinen wie im Großen. Im Kleinen vertraut man darauf, dass Technik so einfach wie in der Werbung funktioniert: einschalten und fertig. Im Großen muss man darauf bauen, dass Technik nur das tut, was sie soll. Doch je smarter Technik heute wird, desto undurchschaubarer ist ihre Funktionsweise. Deshalb beschäftigt sich Mario Donick in seinem Buch mit der Frage, was es mit dem Technikvertrauen der Menschen auf sich hat. Der Fokus seines Buches liegt auf den folgenden Aspekten:Wie können Menschen Technik (und den abwesenden Menschen dahinter) vertrauen?Wie gehen Menschen damit um, wenn ihr Vertrauen gefährdet ist?Was müssen Menschen tun, um in einer immer „smarteren“ Welt handlungsfähig zu bleiben?Das alles sind Fragestellungen, die aus Donicks Sicht immer wichtiger werden – insbesondere mit Blick auf die Mensch-Maschine-Kommunikation, die im Alltag an Komplexität gewinnt. Der Autor liefert Ihnen sowohl theoretische als auch praktische Impulse In fünf Kapiteln bringt Ihnen Mario Donicks Buch das Thema Technikvertrauen aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln näher:Das erste Kapitel untersucht, was Technik überhaupt ist und welche Rolle Vertrauen sowie Wissen in diesem Zusammenhang spielen.Im zweiten Kapitel steht die Human-Computer-Interaction im Fokus: Welche Bedürfnisse muss Technik erfüllen und wie gehen Menschen hier mit Enttäuschungen um?Der Aufbau von Computern sowie ihre Programmierung sind das zentrale Thema des dritten Kapitels.Im vierten Kapitel untersucht Donick die Rolle des IT-Service als Problemlöser in der Technik-Mensch-Beziehung.Abschließend blickt der Autor im fünften Kapitel in die Zukunft und erörtert neue Techniktrends.Damit liefert Ihnen dieses Buch wertvolle theoretische und praktische Impulse zum Thema Technikvertrauen. Anhand praktischer Fallbeispiele lernen Sie, wie Sie „smarte“ Technik verstehen können. Zudem erfahren Sie, wie Sie erfolgreich mit dem technischen Kundendienst kommunizieren. Ideal für Menschen, die im Alltag auf Technik angewiesen sind und deren Funktionsweise besser verstehen wollen.
Digital: Wie Computer denken
by Jürgen Beetz„Mehr ist anders“, sagte ein Nobelpreisträger und meinte damit das Phänomen der „Emergenz“ — dass bei einer Zunahme von Quantität eine neue Qualität, etwas grundsätzlich Neues entstehen kann.Genau dies führt der Autor am Thema „Digitalisierung“ vor: Der Computer, der nach einfachsten technischen Prinzipien funktioniert, wird zum mächtigen Werkzeug, ja „Denkzeug“. Milliarden Computer, miteinander vernetzt, schaffen erneut einen Qualitätssprung: die Entstehung eines weltweiten Informations-, aber auch Überwachungsnetzes. Und wir erleben eine technische Revolution, die vor allem durch die „Künstliche Intelligenz“ ausgelöst wird. Diese Entwicklung wird in einfacher Sprache und mit vielen konkreten Beispielen in diesem Buch verständlich dargestellt. Ausgehend von der technischen Funktionsweise klassischer Computer sowie neuronaler Netze wird die Modellierung der Wirklichkeit in Form von Daten und Prozessen beschrieben. Aufbauend auf diesem Verständnis wird ein Teil der mannigfaltigen Aspekte der digitalen Vernetzung anschaulich geschildert und bewertet. So lernen die Leser, wie Computer „denken“. Letztendlich geht es um die Frage, ob die Digitalisierung Segen oder Fluch der Menschheit sein wird. Die Antwort des Autors wird Sie überraschen.
Digital Art, Aesthetic Creation: The Birth of a Medium (Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies)
by Paul CrowtherIs art created with computers really art? This book answers ‘yes.’ Computers can generate visual art with unique aesthetic effects based on innovations in computer technology and a Postmodern naturalization of technology wherein technology becomes something we live in as well as use. The present study establishes these claims by looking at digital art’s historical emergence from the 1960s to the start of the present century. Paul Crowther, using a philosophical approach to art history, considers the first steps towards digital graphics, their development in terms of three-dimensional abstraction and figuration, and then the complexities of their interactive formats.

Digital Economies at Global Margins (International Development Research Centre)
by Mark GrahamInvestigations of what increasing digital connectivity and the digitalization of the economy mean for people and places at the world's economic margins.Within the last decade, more than one billion people became new Internet users. Once, digital connectivity was confined to economically prosperous parts of the world; now Internet users make up a majority of the world's population. In this book, contributors from a range of disciplines and locations investigate the impact of increased digital connectivity on people and places at the world's economic margins. Does the advent of a digitalized economy mean that those in economic peripheries can transcend spatial, organizational, social, and political constraints—or do digital tools and techniques tend to reinforce existing inequalities?The contributors present a diverse set of case studies, reporting on digitalization in countries ranging from Chile to Kenya to the Philippines, and develop a broad range of theoretical positions. They consider, among other things, data-driven disintermediation, women's economic empowerment and gendered power relations, digital humanitarianism and philanthropic capitalism, the spread of innovation hubs, and two cases of the reversal of core and periphery in digital innovation.ContributorsNiels Beerepoot, Ryan Burns, Jenna Burrell, Julie Yujie Chen, Peter Dannenberg, Uwe Deichmann, Jonathan Donner, Christopher Foster, Mark Graham, Nicolas Friederici, Hernan Galperin, Catrihel Greppi, Anita Gurumurthy, Isis Hjorth, Lilly Irani, Molly Jackman, Calestous Juma, Dorothea Kleine, Madlen Krone, Vili Lehdonvirta, Chris Locke, Silvia Masiero, Hannah McCarrick,Deepak K.
