An Introduction

Educational Technology and Polycontextual Bridging

Abstract

Digital media has a growing importance and it affects people’s communication habits and patterns and their attitudes towards school learning. We need greater understanding as to how learning takes place in various arenas, how these arenas dynamically interact, and how this affects the educational environments. The chapters in this part of the book contribute to our understanding of these phenomena.
