UNBLACK THE BOX

For a (self)conscious use of digital and data technologies in educational institutions

Welcome to the UNBLACK THE BOX website!

You…

…are working in an educational institution?
…are training to be a teacher?
…are working in teacher training?
…are researching on topics of datafication / digitisation in educational institutions?
…are involved in education policy decision processes?
…or are just generally interested?

Then this is the right place for you. UNBLACK THE BOX is a network initiative founded in 2019 by researchers from education science, sociology, information technology, media and health education, as well as teachers in schools, universities and pedagogical training. Our goal is to enable educational institutions and teachers to respond to the growing datafication and digitization of education with enlightened, critical and conscious decision-making, even without extensive IT knowledge.
