Paths and Traps in the Forest of the Digitization of Education 
Nearly three years ago we have started our journey in the forest of the digitization 
of education. “The universe is ours”, therefore the university’s mission is to search for 
new roads to the future. The Visual Learning Lab (VLL) seems to be a new professional 
community, its voluntary “migration” meets new paths, and also traps. Martin Kemp and 
James Elkins’ work (2007) gave the firs impulses on the way of visual practices across 
the university. The pioneers –  Theo Hug, James Katz, Kristóf Nyíri, Barry Smith – 
provided a wide scientific orientation, but the challenge is great, both theoretically and 
practically. The forest of the rich fauna – painting, sculpture, architecture, television, 
film, video, mass media, internet – of the ICT environment gave a lot of new  opportunities for education to improve the content and the methods of education. My paper, 
based on the activities of the VLL and the previous conferences – trying to select milestones – between 2009 and 2012 attempts to systematize the professional paths in the way 
of digitization of the content and teaching in higher education and to give feedback about 
the real traps which could be potential obstacles in the change of the character of 
education.
 András BENEDEK, Professor and Head, Department of Technical Education, Budapest 
University of Technology and Economics, has published some 150 papers to date in 
connection with human resource development issues, among them the essays “New 
Vistas of Learning in the Mobile Age”, in Kristóf Nyíri (ed.), 
Mobile Understanding: The Epistemology of Ubiquitous Communication, Vienna: Passagen Verlag, 2006, and “Mobile Learning: New Horizons and Unstable Summits”, in Kristóf Nyíri (ed.), 
Engagement and Exposure: Mobile Communication and the Ethics of Social Networking, Vienna: Passagen Verlag, 2009. From 
1976 to 1979 he studied systems analysis on a scholarship and 
acquired a PhD at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow. During 
the 1980s he was a scientific advisor at the Hungarian Academy 
of Sciences. He was the Director of Vocational Training (from 
1984 to 1989), then Director General (from 1989 to 1990) at the 
National Pedagogical Institute. As its first Director General in 1990, he established the 
National Institute for Vocational Education. He was involved in numerous UNESCO and 
ILO projects, and continues to participate in the preparation of various World Bank and 
Phare projects in the area of human resource development. 1991–2006 he held the positions of deputy and permanent state secretary in different ministries. In 2004 he acquired 
a DSc at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. E-mail: benedek.a@eik.bme.hu.

Visual Learning through Games: 
The Case of GPS-Based Treasure Hunting
  
One of the critiques of people’s increasing digital media use in everyday life is that it removes, or at least distracts people from their physical surroundings in favor of what shows up on the screens of their devices. This one-sided view of digital media ignores the myriad of ways that digital platforms may augment one’s experiences in and of a physical locale. This presentation will discuss how GPS-based treasure-hunt games such as geocaching and Munzee influence the ways hobbyists see their physical surroundings not only during their time playing the game, but in their everyday lives even
when they are not actively pursuing their hobby. The paper draws on participant observations as well as interviews with hobbyists to describe how digital games can augment people’s perceptions and understandings of their immediate surroundings even when not
in the midst of game-play. The presentation will give specific examples of the ways in which hobbyists started seeing their environment in a new light after becoming avid players of such games appreciating nuances of both the urban landscape as well as remote areas and natural elements.

Eszter HARGITTAI,  (Ph.D. Sociology, Princeton University) is Associate Professor of
Communication Studies at Northwestern University where she heads
the Web Use Project. She is also Fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society where she spent the 2008/09 year in residence. Her research focuses on the social implications of people’s
digital media uses with a particular interest in how people’s Web-use
skills influence the ways in which they incorporate the Internet into
their lives. One of her current projects (with Ethan Zuckerman, MIT)
focuses on the implications of GPS-based games for learning and civic engagement. E-mail: eszter@northwestern.edu.

The Potential Role of Visualisation in the Vocational Training and 
Continuous Education of Adults
  
 Adults are a specific educational target group, due to the facts that on the one
hand they bring a vast amount of life and work experience into the learning process and –
on the other hand – they are very often part-time learners. Thus the use of efficient didactic methods in their teaching can have a multiple impact on the quality of their learning. In my talk I wish to examine the use of visualisation as a potential tool for creating
and enhancing communicational conformity between learner and teacher, easing the
transmission of thoughts and ideas. The first part will review the role of perception in the
learning process, with specific regard to the differences in the individual perception patterns, as well as visualisation playing a major role in the acceptance, understanding and
recalling of the teaching material. The second part will discuss how the development of
IT technologies in the last twenty years enlarged the range of potential educational tools
that can be used to convey knowledge. The third part is meant to give an account on the
lessons that could be learned this far from an empirical experiment on using visual technology in adult vocational training.

Educational Centre and has a PhD Absolutorium from the Department of Technological Education, Budapest University of
Technology. She is a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP™). At the beginning of her carrier her research
interest focused on industrial design, man-made environment, visual culture and art. Following the year that she spent at University
of London, Goldsmiths’ College as a visiting researcher, in the last
20 years her interest turned towards the exploration of individual
(communicational, presentational and vocational) skills needed to
coop with the challenges of the labour market as well as towards
the specific training and teaching methods and structures suitable for the development of
these skills. E-mail: darits@oktav.hu.



Zsuzsanna KONDOR 
The Riddle of Images Revisited 
  
 According to a widely accepted conception, “an image cannot be seen  as such 
without the paradoxical trick of consciousness, an ability to see something as ‘there’ and 
‘not there’ at the same time” (Mitchell 1987); or as Belting formulated the same idea in a 
rather enigmatic way, “what an image is: the presence of an absence” (Belting 2005). In 
my talk, I will examine the roots of this apparent riddle, but I will also suggest it can be 
eliminated if we take into account the relation between visual perception and the motor 
component.  
 Bergson, one of the proponents of the importance of motor activity uses the term 
image in a puzzling way. This puzzle (as it appears in Bergson’s considerations) revolves 
around bridging the “explanatory gap” between conscious and physical phenomena; and, 
in particular, it illuminates the enigmatic relation between mental and external (accessible 
to others) representations.  
 In conclusion, I will relate the Bergsonian image to the riddle of images against 
the background of similarity. That is, I will suggest, similarity is not an adequate aspect 
from which pictorial representations are examinable.
