What actually is educational media?

What makes a medium an educational medium? What do textbooks, academic textbooks and guidebooks have in common, what separates them? Such definitional questions are not academic self-reflection, but concern academic thinking and work at its core: What is my object of investigation?

The lecture presents possibilities for systematisation. It also attempts a historical sketch of the term "educational media", which is closely related to the English-language term "educational media", but may not be entirely congruent with this term.

The series of lectures on childhood and media education is a co-operation between the Thuringian Institute for Childhood Education at the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt and the Workshop for Media Education at the University of Erfurt.
