It based inclusion into mainstream schools of kids and youngsters with developmental and attention difficulties

The research project, ididakt, runs from 2013-2016. iDIDAKT is financed by the Ministry of Education (Ministeriet for Børn og Undervisning, MBU) with funding allocated earmarked 2012 for investigating it-based modes of learning, appropriate pedagogy, and digital tools directed towards helping the inclusion into mainstream schools of kids and youngsters with developmental difficulties and/or difficulties in focusing attention.

The project is situated in the research unit, D4Learning, Dept. of Learning and Philosophy, Aalborg University, in a consortium construction with three participating municipalities: Favrskov, Horsens and Herning.

The overall goal of this funding was to support concrete projects in schools, which aim at identifying new digital forms of learning and pedagogies, and use of it-based tools to strengthen inclusion and teaching differentiation.

ididakt investigates, develops and tests digital OERs, which may contribute to increased professional and social inclusion into mainstream schools of kids/youngsters with developmental difficulties and/or difficulties in focusing attention.
