Collaborative educational environment – Digitality as a structural element of the pedagogical

This paper investigates the extent to which the digital can be understood as a structural element of the pedagogical in the context of collaborative learning processes. For this purpose, the actor-network theory is deployed to interpret the initial findings of a teaching-development project in which a collaborative tool for creating e-portfolios was tested in the context of dual-study programmes. The paper demonstrates the importance of teaching-development projects for a fundamental, theoretical, didactic reflection and concludes with prospects for further empirical research based on teaching-development projects.
