A designs for learning approach to resources and their affordances

• The use of resources, for various purposes, is a constantly recurring feature in all kinds of processes,not least in relation to learning and meaning-making. Consequently, how to approach learningresources, analytically and/or pedagogically, is a recurrent question among teachers and scholars.Based on examples from previous research projects, this presentation approaches the issue ofresources for learning and meaning-making from a Designs for Learning perspective. What becomesa resource in a specific situation, to whom, how, with what social and epistemological consequences,and why? What resources are recognized as valid within these situations? What do these aspects tellus about learning? My interest here is, in other words, directed towards questions about resources in relation to materiality, meaning-making, agency, and power in education, learning, and meaning-making.As a vehicle for reflecting upon various aspects regarding how resources are brought to play insituated meaning-making, the notion of affordance (Gibson, 1977) is introduced and furtherelaborated from a multimodal designs for learning perspective.
