The course will explore the role and functions of digital tools, and how these are implemented in every day teaching and learning. In addition to a comparison of national and regional regulations and goals, usage of digital resources at the local level will be explored. Digitalization and Implementation Processes in School 1 (DIP, 1) is an advanced level course focusing on theoretical issues on macro, meso and micro levels regarding digitalization of education. The follow-up course, Digitalization and Implementation Processes in School 2 (DIP, 2), is focused on practice, and the realization of implementation processes.
