Expanding Digital Learning Spaces
Prof. Thomas Ryberg,
In this keynote, I introduce a theoretical framework outlining four types of digital learning spaces: The individual learning space, the working group, the community of interest, and finally open connections. The theoretical framework aims to highlight the unique potentials of digital technologies to expand learning activities in and across learning spaces. In the presentation, I explore the theoretical framework through practical examples drawn from Aalborg University’s Problem and Project based Learning model where students work in groups with complex problems. These discussions include also how students work with G-AI as part of their collaborative learning processes. The framework has been developed in collaboration with Christian Dalsgaard from Aarhus University and is introduced in this article: Dalsgaard, C., & Ryberg, T. (2023).
