ICT goes university. Three ideas and their implementations

The article looks at three pedagogical solutions - blended tutoring, online intercultural exchanges and the flipped classroom - which capitalize on the symbiosis between pedagogy and new technologies. Each of the three proposals stems from a belief that university education should be dialogic and result in meaning construction rather than content transmission. There is a common scheme in which all three solutions are presented here. First, each proposal is accommodated with a certain theoretical outline. Then the pedagogical routines employed during its implementation are discussed. Each presentation cycle is closed with a description and analysis of a case study: the interaction between a tutor and a tutee in the case of blended tutoring; the course of a 2014 German-Polish telecollaboration for Online Intercultural Exchanges; and finally, the different aspects of a merger between the flipped university and the Design Thinking model.
