Lars Qvortrup 1983

“Hvis der skal udvikles datamatformidlede og datamatunderstøttende undervisningssystemer – og som sagt er de nationale demografiske argumenter herfor ikke stærke – så må minimumskravet være, at der etableres et udviklingsarbejde, hvor det er udviklingspsykologer, dannelsesteoretiekre, uddannelsessociologer, der fører det store ord, og hvor der hele tiden sikres en brugerdialog – med pædagoger og elever – med indbygget vetoret.
