Student learning and the ambivalence of digital distraction

The historically new situation of the digital connectedness between subject and world poses new challenges for  students today. Digital distraction represents a central  problem in this context. Drawing on student experience  reports, this paper examines distraction in the context of  the digitalisation of learning. In doing so, the paper  expands the concept of distraction and describes reasoning traps in inquiry-based learning in digital learning-teaching  relations. Furthermore, we highlight the relevance of  developing an academic culture which systematically  addresses not only the significance of digital technologies  in learning, but also how to deal with them.
