heureka! – Veränderung im Denken

Powerpoint ist aus dem universitären Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken. Vorlesungen werden mit der Standardsoftware aus dem Hause Microsoft ebenso gehalten wie studentische Referate. Wissenschaftliche Vorträge landen im ppt-Format ebenso im Netz wie Lehrmaterial zum Eigenstudium. Schätzungsweise 400 Millionen Kopien sind weltweit im Umlauf, ein erheblicher Teil davon an Universitäten und Schulen, denen das Programm zu Sonderkonditionen angeboten wird.

Special Issue. WAC, WID, ECAC, CAC, CXC, LAC — VAC? Incorporating the Visual into Writing / Electronic / Communication / Learning Across the Curriculum

Disciplines across the curriculum increasingly respond to the visual culture into which our students graduate—and from which they come. This special issue explores the use of visuals to teach, to construct knowledge, and to deconstruct knowledge; specific disciplinary expectations concerning visuals as end products/forms of communication; the production, changes and/or effects visual technologies (from paper to screen) have had on our field; the intersections between/among visual/written/spoken pedagogies and productions across disciplines/interdisciplines; ways in which brain activity dedicated to writing intersects/affects/changes visual production.
