The Course will be an on-line course. More information will be sent out after deadline.
A three-day blended learning course (two full days online , followed by a 1 day online activity appr. two weeks after).
The course focus is: Understanding complex learning and learning design processes through the use of audio/visual materials (images, sound, video, animation and other similar artefacts) as qualitative digital research methods for data production and analysis.
The course addresses the research potential from using audio/visual approaches when investigating learning, where learning is understood in the broadest sense of processes and environments, and using a richness of analogue, digital and blended empirical material. When new learning cultures emerge in institutions and in workplaces, the matter of how and why to choose qualitative empirical methods becomes a relevant question to everybody who investigate pedagogical situations, implementation of learning practices, as well as organizational change and development. Research in this area will today challenge well-known approaches within data collection, production and analysis, as the empirical materials become digital and digital technologies provide distributed roles, actions and information in time and space. By taking on the audio/visual approaches, the course will come about the many faceted ways of producing empirical data from the many faceted practices in the field of learning.
The course is relevant for participants working with methodological and methodical issues in doctoral research projects addressing learning, didactics, pedagogy and organizational change.
The course combines practical experience from lab-activities with theoretical knowledge generation and is organized in three parts:
- Part 1: 14 days prior to the course, submission of a paper, that includes an audio/visual approach related to the PhD project (see below).
- Part 2: Two full days in Copenhagen, with a combination of hands-on activities and theoretical lectures.
- Part 3: One day online session with presentations, feed-back and feed-forward in relation to the resubmitted paper on the participant’s projects.
All parts of the course are mandatory, including the course literature. Bring your computer and headphones.

DAY 3 (11 June 2020, online)
Theme: Qualifying the research design and analysis
10:00 - 14:00
- Depending on the number of participants we will online in plenary or in smaller groups go into depth with the resubmitted papers
Description of paper requirements:
Mandatory preparation: 14 days prior to the course, participants submit a paper. The paper must consist of:
- a piece of material that the PhD student is working with (this can be in the form of audio/visual materials, video or animations)
- a description of what it is, and what they plan to do with this material (max 1½ page),
- a brief PhD project description (max 1 page).
After the first two course days, the paper is revised, considering the theoretical and methodological consequences, and resubmitted ahead of the online course day.
