Utilizing digital means in transdisciplinary learning to foster sustainability transformations
Given the complexity of fundamental sustainability challenges humanity is facing in the 21st century, such as climate change, bio-diversity loss or global injustices, transdisciplinary collaborations in research and teaching have gained increasing attention. In this presentation I will first outline why and how transdisciplinary learning on an individual, organizational as well as societal level has the potential to contribute fostering needed sustainability transformations. Second, I will introduce two concrete examples how digital means can be utilized to enable and facilitate such learning processes. Finally, I will conclude with some reflections on limitations of digital collaboration in transdisciplinary settings as well as potential further developments in this area.
