Seminar: Identity, sociality and communality in times of digital media technologies published on No Comments on Seminar: Identity, sociality and communality in times of digital media technologies

In the winter term 2012/2013, I am teaching a seminar on “Identity, sociality and communality in times of digital media technologies” at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Vienna. Students in this course learn about and to work with different forms of identity construction and processes of sociality and communality, which have been made possible through digital media technologies, such as the internet. Students get a brief overview about identity concepts and the possibility to deploy them within empirical research projects.

Abstract
Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit dem Studieren der Sozialwissenschaften in der Ära von Bologna, die neben der curricularen Umstellung auf  ein zwei- bzw. dreistufiges System von Studienabschlüssen und der Einführung eines  ECTS Leistungspunktesystems vermehrt auch eine Steigerung der Arbeits- und Prüfungsbelastung für die Studierenden mit sich bringt (z.B. Allenspach/Husfeldt 2012). Am Fallbeispiel der im Zuge des Bologna-Prozesses 2007 implementierten gemeinsamen sozialwissenschaftlichen Studieneingangs- und Orientierungsphase der Universität  Wien (SOWI-STEOP, http://esowi.univie.ac.at/) werden Herausforderungen, Strukturen und Entwicklungen in Bezug auf die spezifischen Charakteristika der Studienbeginner/innen diskutiert und studentische Erwartungen und Bewertungen beleuchtet.

Abstract
This paper introduces the case of an interactive technology enhanced learning model, its contexts and infrastructure at a public university in the Bologna era. From a socio-technological perspective, it takes a look at the conditions and challenges under which this flexible learning model for the social sciences has been developed. Furthermore, selected evaluation results, including experiences and expectations of social science students, are discussed. The paper concludes that it is possible, with the appropriate didactical model, to create and facilitate interactive student-centered learning situations, even in “mass lectures”.
