dica–media interconnects various research frameworks for studying digital media technologies, their design, and the impact they have on learning and interaction. The team is collaborating with highly engaged academics, researchers, designers and students from different socio-cultural backgrounds and a broad range of disciplines.
Our conceptual work addresses subjects such as
- designing and creating interdisciplinary multimedia spaces as multimodal articulations of/and interactive environments for development and learning
- investigating enacted forms of communicating, knowing, reasoning, imagining, speaking, playing within technologically enriched physical environments by comprehensive process-tracking research methods
- developing educational applications and multi-learn environments allowing for experiencing and integrating new social, cognitive, emotional, aesthetic and physical learning experiences beyond generally acknowledged boundaries (e.g., virtual vs. ‘real’ space, transmedial identities etc.)
studying possible approaches for communities, organizations or companies to increase the informed creation and usage of interactive tools, such as 3D virtual networked environments with regard to the object of these tools, that is their dimensions of activity, learning as well as building and transmission of knowledge.
