| Main themes |
The seminar aims to draw up an inter-disciplinary perspective on educational media.
The themes will depend partly on the kinds of media that it is planned to use (e.g. educational programmes, new technology, distance learning, and museums and exhibitions), and partly on matters specifically relating to learning.
Examples of themes include learning through images, the relationship between text and para-text in learning, collaborative learning, and new technology.
|
| Aims |
By the end of the seminar, students will be able to study the question of learning via the education media by incorporating contributions from the other subjects concerned (mainly education science courses with a communications approach).
