22. Digitalisation: Fears and Mindshifts
•Studying and learning have always been and stay a
social process... - It is the question how digitalisation
can support this.
•The DHBW is working according to a small-group
principle – the question is how digitalisation can
enrich working/ learning in small groups.
•The use of digital media is not replacing, but
supporting the teacher.
