The long-term sustainability of Digital Literacy and Computing Education – an infrastructural perspective

New educational subjects aimed at Digital Literacy and Computing Education are difficult to design but even more difficult to implement and make sustainable. Experience suggests that “implementation periods” should be counted in decades rather than years and that failures are lurking around every corner. This talk invite participants to debate and reflect on how research and researchers can help improve the sustainability of new Computing/Digital literacy subjects in schools. This is done by presenting the Danish Research Center for Digital Technology Comprehension as an ‘infrastructure’ for the social, material, political and organizational structures needed to sustain the new ‘Technology Comprehension’ subject area in Danish schools.
