The Centre for Teaching Development and Digital Media is organised under the Dean of Arts on Campus Aarhus to spearhead the main academic area’s focused research and knowledge exchange activities within the field of university and youth education, pedagogy and didactics, as well as within the development of study programmes and teaching activities in relation to university and youth education, the use of digital media to support learning, and the development of students’ study skills, including support for students with special needs.

The centre combines the existing smaller centres and research programmes focusing on these areas.

The centre makes the most of the obvious academic synergies created by being located near the IT community at Katrinebjerg, Campus Aarhus.

The centre’s research profile is general didactics but with a clearly defined thematic focus on a number of strategic areas such as IT-aided teaching, supervision, development of study skills, foreign language didactics, entrepreneurship pedagogy and special-needs pedagogy (the Counseling and Support Centre).

The centre aims to stand out as a unique environment, both nationally and internationally, and as an interesting and important collaboration partner for external stakeholders and international research institutions.

Please note that the profile is currently being revised (primo 2012).
