Praxistransfer: Was ist feministische Digitalpolitik und was kann sie von der Forschung lernen?

Praxistransfer: Was ist feministische Digitalpolitik und was kann sie von der Forschung lernen?

Digitalisation
Digital, Wissenschaftlich & Gleichberechtigt Als IT- und Bildungsforscherin im EduTec-Team engagiere ich mich ehrenamtlich in der Kommunal- und Landespolitik. Da gibt es viele Bereiche, wo ich immer wieder merke, dass der Praxistransfer aus der Wissenschaft in die Politik fehlt oder noch nicht ausreichend stattfindet. Das betrifft auch mein Forschungsgebiet, der Einbindung vielfältiger und weiblicher Perspektiven in die digitale Transformation dessen wie wir künftig leben, lernen und arbeiten. Für die Politik, die ich mache, kann man ganz grundsätzlich sagen, dass ich Gleichberechtigung fördere, da sie sozialen Wandel zu einer Priorität und nicht zu einem nachträglichen Gedanken macht. Geschlechtsspezifische Ungleichheit ist ein Querschnittsthema, das in allen digital berührten gesellschaftlichen Bereichen Anwendung findet. Ich denke Gleichberechtigung in allen Politikbereichen mit – insbesondere in der Digitalpolitik. Frauen* machen die Hälfte der Weltbevölkerung aus, in…

Publication of the Compendium of Gamification Strategies: AR in STEM classes in the EU

Project, Publication
The only limit is our imagination: Augmented Reality Technology enters STEM classes in EU As a powerful storytelling tool, immersive media fundamentally change the way we interact with our environment. The EU-funded AR4STEAM project wants to use this potential for new ways of learning in school lessons in natural sciences and arts. With Augmented Reality (AR) we can merge digital dimension with the physical world and create completely new experiences. Reality becomes a creative canvas on which we can provide information in a completely new and exciting way. Artists and scientists have long recognized that immersive technologies appeal to recipients emotionally on a whole new level and create lasting impressions. AR makes the previously impossible a new reality. The only limit? Our imagination! Studies have shown that the use of…
