On the one hand, you will find helpful literature tips and links that can support you in researching the technical background to your topic. On the other hand, the digital learning boxes contain a compilation of exemplary materials available online as well as a list of exemplary materials that you can find on this topic in our workshop or at the PH.
Structure and navigation within the document
Our digital learning boxes are based on the didactic reconstruction model by Gervé (2019). In addition to suggestions for teaching materials, the digital learning boxes also provide you with guidance for planning your lessons.
As the digital learning boxes contain interactive elements, you can navigate through the document at the click of a mouse. You will find the "Go to overview" button on every start page. This will take you to the didactic reconstruction model, which can help you plan your lessons. Clicking on the individual fields will take you to the corresponding pages in the document. On the one hand, these topic pages offer you suggestions on how you can continue working, on the other hand, you will find links to where you can find more in-depth information on this area. If you click on "Back", you will be taken back to the didactic reconstruction page.
Hint
The Digital Learning Kits contain links to pages over whose content the Didactic Workshop for Special Education has no influence. The DWSU is therefore not liable for the content or design of the linked pages or for links that refer to third party pages.
