The Mapping of Inclusion

Abstract

Inclusion and inclusivity are concepts that underlie enormous degrees of change between different locations but also at different times. Knowing about these different traditions and potential pitfalls constitutes—at least in the educational science—a learning aim in and of itself. In order to facilitate learning in that regard, the authors designed and realized a project adhering to the name of the Mapping of Inclusion, in which students and faculty work collaboratively to collect, synthesize, and constantly improve knowledge about inclusion/inclusivity at different places and times. This chapter has three objectives: First, it outlines the problem statement. Secondly, it seeks to clarify its philosophical position regarding digitality and higher education while also tying these together with the specific realization (and embedding) of the Mapping of Inclusion. Third, the chapter will identify, illustrate, and explain power laws of digital teaching.
