In this research, the design of teaching and learning with web-enabled technologies, such as iPads, in 64 one-to-one (1:1) Nordic classrooms was explored using the Digital Didactical Design (DDD) framework. DDD focuses on both teachers' activities and students’ learning activities in the classroom and how web-enabled technologies are integrated into teaching, learning, and assessment. Semi-structured classroom observations were conducted to investigate how teachers apply the elements of DDD in their classroom practice, and what kinds of learning they support. The analysis resulted in three clusters: Cluster A demonstrates integration and alignment toward meaningful learning; Cluster B shows the potential for deep learning but a semi-alignment of teaching, learning, assessment, roles, and technology; and Cluster C indicates non-integration of the five elements. The findings point out that tablet integration needs the alignment of all five DDD elements to achieve meaningful learning. Pedagogy has to evolve to include new uses of the technology: it is a co-evolutionary growth of the five DDD elements together. DDD can be used by teachers for planning, self-assessment or reflective collaboration with peers and by schools to plan, document, evaluate, and rethink the interwoven pedagogy-technology relationship in tablet classrooms.

Creativity is one of the important skills of the twenty-first century and central to higher education (HE). When we look closer into research on creativity in HE, however, it is not clear how university teachers conceptualise student creativity. How do teachers grasp, observe and express student creativity? Different methods such as interviews and online questionnaire have been used in this study. From the teacher perspective, student creativity is categorised into a 6-Facet-Model, in which teachers 'see' student creativity expressed through (1) student self-reflections, (2) independent decisions, (3) through curiosity and motivation, (4) producing something, (5) multi-perspectives and (6) when students develop original new ideas. The results provide a new understanding of student creativity from university teachers' perspective that is useful for re-organising course designs.

As web-enabled mobile technologies become increasingly integrated into formal learning environments, the fields of education and ICT (information and communication technology) are merging to create a new kind of classroom: CrossActionSpaces. Grounding its exploration of these co-located communication spaces in global empirical research, Digital Didactical Designs facilitates the development of teachers into collaborative designers and evaluators of technology-driven teaching and learning experiences—learning through reflective making. The Digital Didactical Design model promotes deep learning expeditions with a framework that encourages teachers and researchers to study, explore, and analyze the applied designs-in-practice. The book presents critical views of contemporary education, theories of socio-technical systems and behavior patterns, and concludes with a look into the conceptual and practical prototypes that might emerge in schools and universities in the near future.

A range of factors can lead to situations where university courses have to be taught with a very small number of students. In this paper, we report on our experiences of a chemistry course that was especially designed to encourage learning in small groups of students (four to five per course). The course design included inquiry-based approaches, case methodology and problem-based learning concepts. The main goal was to enhance student motivation and to support them to become active agents (‘pro-sumers’). Technology was adopted to support students in their inquiry-based learning processes by using online logs, group wikis and quizzes and with sections of laboratory work. We explored student perceptions during the first 2 years in two courses. The students were, in general, very positive about the course and communicated that the technological tools along with the pedagogical design decisions had assisted them to different extents in their learning. Our conclusion is that such a design is appropriate for an advanced-level chemistry course with small numbers of students, and the course will continue to be given in this form.

This paper reports on the first year of a two-year study in Finland about Finnish teachers didactical design in one-to-one (1:1) tablet classrooms. In it's simplest form 1:1 means that each student and teacher is equipped with a computing device. In this study all students and teachers are equipped with an Apple iPad. Compared to other European countries (EUN, 2013) the digitalisation of Finnish schools progress at a slow rate where the ratio of computers per child in year 7-9 is among the lowest, but has started to increase. The project is conducted during the transition from the 2004 national curriculum to the 2016 national curriculum. Researchers indicate that equipping each student with a digital device is a great challenge for the so-called ecology of the classroom (Håkansson Lindqvist, 2015). Aspect of digitalisation concerns wireless Internet access (WiFi) and cloud computing. Such technologies highlight the notion of what content students have access to and how content is shared among teachers and students. Traditionally, teaching have been organised with textbooks while with 1:1 computing students got access to a great number of new resources that possibly challenges the thinking of what represents content. However, it is not the content per se that create students learning experience, it is how the teacher design students' learning expedition (Jahnke, Norqvist and Olsson, 2014) with the curriculum and the content.

Aim and research questions: The aim of this paper is to contribute to knowledge about teachers' didactical design in schools with one-to-one tablet programs.

- What characterises the students' interaction with the content in one-to-one tablet contexts?

- How can we understand the teachers' didactical design based on the relationship between the privileging features of the one-to-one tablet context in relation to the teaching practice?

We propose an interdisciplinary workshop to share and discuss ongoing research and existing results with regard to studies revolving around tablet-mediated collaborative learning in schools. The guiding question is: Is the expanding use of media tablets on the way to change teaching and learning practices in schools? If yes, which are these emergent practices, how are they developing, and in what ways do they contribute to renew computer-supported collaborative learning? Current studies on the use of media tablets in schools raise an important set of issues and potentials for research in CSCL. They point at the examination of teachers’ and learners’ sociotechnical-pedagogical practices that are enacted in the classroom on a daily basis.

Wearable web-enabled technology is the newest social fad, but in what ways is it useful in education? In this paper, we illustrate an explorative study of wearable technology for supporting collaborative learning. More specifically, university students from three different study programs collaboratively developed a gamification activity for pupils in secondary schools. The study illustrates a new way of collaborative learning towards “learning expeditions” where the students become designers for a collaborative learning situation.

This study explores how teachers use tablets for learning in secondary schools. The use of tablets in compulsory school education is increasing (Balanskat et al. 2013), and research is has to some extent focused on the affordances and potential of the technology. Calls have been made for research on emergent teaching designs, classroom practices and learning. Part of a larger research effort this paper draws upon observations of, and subsequent interviews with teachers using tablets in their 1:1 Finnish secondary school classrooms. This allows description and comparison of teachers and their different Digital Didactical Designs (DDD) in practice. Grounded in Jahnke's DDD model (e.g. Jahnke et al. 2013), and informed by CSCL research, this paper identifies patterns and challenges in tablet-supported didactical designs. The discussion focus on opportunities to enhance the interactions between learners and their partners that enhances tcollaborative learning with tablets in secondary school education.
