orchestrating soft and hard technologies
DESCRIPTION
Presentation from JTEL WinterSchool in Innsbruck, 2010, taking as a starting point that soft technologies such as pedagogies, institutional rules, timetabling methods and so have to be considered as integral to assemblies of learning technologies. This perspective has many interesting consequences.TRANSCRIPT
