Learning journeys with digital whiteboards

Abstract

New learning is (more) self-organised. Learners take responsibility for their own learning. Teachers become learning guides and provide impulses and support for the learning process. In order to design learning scenarios that also function hybrid and asynchronously, the use of digital whiteboards or pinboards is recommended, because these tools not only enable the structured storage of material, but are also the basis for group work and brainstorming or exchange. Collaboration is becoming more and more important, so it makes sense to facilitate and to practise it even during your studies. Passive participation in lectures is being replaced by interactive formats, because the participants can acquire much of the content themselves outside the course with the help of books, contributions on the internet, videos or podcasts. The curation of the diverse material is the task of learning guides. Digital whiteboards or pinboards provide structure and, ideally, are designed attractively as a kind of learning journey so that participants positively link learning. In New Learning it is important to dedicate the meeting of learners and facilitators in a learning event to exchange, valuable discussions and exercises.
