It looks at specific, unique and situational dimensions of digital (distance/online) teaching. The study focuses on the most common forms of teaching in teacher education programs - seminars and lectures - and examines the interactions between teachers, students and technology. The aim is to highlight different aspects of social presence and distance in these teaching situations.
The following research question has been formulated:
- How are teaching interactions (re)shaped when university teachers, students and technology interact in a spatially dissolved and transgressive digital context?
In order to understand what social presence and distance mean for teachers and students in a spatially dissolved and transgressive digital context, we need to study the interactions between teachers, students and technology but also to learn about the experiences of participants in these interactions.
The project runs from 2020 to 2023.
