Design of a Freenet-oriented eLearning Course

Learning with or through new media is a complex process. While technology is moving forward in leaps and bounds, pedagogy seems to be lagging behind. Yet behind every use of new media for teaching lies a (didactic) learning model - consciously or unconsciously. As the Swiss Center for Information Technology in Education published in its Didactics Guide, the computer is a learning aid and enrichment, especially for open forms of learning. A special form of open learning is represented by reform pedagogy, one of whose representatives is Célestin Freinet. The aim of this diploma thesis is to show whether and how Freinet's pedagogy can be supported and implemented using Technology Enhanced Learning.

The aim is to create a concept that shows how aspects of Freinet pedagogy can be implemented in an eLearning platform. Subject-oriented modeling is used as a showcase to demonstrate how Freinet can be supported by technology. The elaborated concept shows the implementation of Freinet's reform pedagogical approach in an eLearning platform and thus represents a central contribution to the treatment of the topic. Another focus in this context is the concrete implementation of the concept. Particular attention is paid to the preparation of the learning content with the available resources, which depend on the selected platform.
