After several months of personal journey towards accepting that the coronavirus pandemic is real (see Jandrić 2020a, b), in early March, it dawned on me that the pandemic does not need only so-called essential workers. Self-quarantined after returning from abroad weeks before the Croatian government locked down the country, I immediately wrote an editorial for Postdigital Science and Education and argued that 'While doctors, nurses, politicians, food suppliers, and many other brave people self-sacrifice to support our daily survival, this editorial argues that academics have a unique opportunity, and a moral duty, to immediately start conducting in-depth studies of current events.' (Jandrić 2020c: 234) I had no idea how to even approach these studies, yet I had a strong feeling that something needed to be done urgently. So, I just did what I know best and issued calls for 3 different types of Covid-19-related material to be published in Postdigital Science and Education: short testimonies, longer commentary articles, and full-length original articles. I had no idea how much material I would receive, what this material would look like, and what I would do with this material. I just had a deep gut feeling that we are witnessing a unique time in human history, a once-in-a-lifetime event, that needs to be recorded as it unfolds. For better or for worse, I decided to follow that feeling. This general vision, without a clear idea of what I was doing, paved a bumpy road for the development of this collection. On 17 March 2020, I shared the Call for Testimonies on Postdigital Science and Education social network sites and I emailed it to the journal's mailing list. Based on my previous experience with similar calls, I expected to receive 10 to 15 contributions and produce a standard-length collective article aiming at postdigital dialogue (Jandrić et al. 2019) about the pandemic. Yet my call went 'viral', at least for academic standards, and a couple of weeks later, I had more than 50,000 words written by more than 80 authors. So how do I make sense of all that material? My dear friend and Associate Editor of Postdigital Science and Education, Sarah Hayes, came to my rescue. We first tried to make sense of the contributions using critical discourse

Gennem de sidste 10 år har større studenteroptag og begrænsede ressourcer på Aalborg Universitet (AAU) ledt til flere klassiske forelæsninger, hvilket har resulteret i en udvanding og af de grundlæggende PBL principper. Vi argumenterer for, at en revitalisering af PBL gennem brugen af Learning Designs er en mulighed til at kvalificere den tilgang til læring og uddannelse, som i mere end 40 år har været kendetegn for AAU. Med afsæt i en case fra Kommunikation og Digitale Medier (KDM) afdækker vi, hvordan Learning Design kan fungere som et deskriptivt sprog og en form, der kan danne grundlag for udvikling og kvalificering af kurser, undervisnings- og læringsaktiviteter. Indenfor feltet Learning Design spores to retninger: 1) en retning med fokus effektivisering og standardisering af uddannelse og 2) en retning med fokus på udvikling, formgivning og kvalificering af uddannelse. I denne artikel diskuterer vi potentialer og udfordringer ved at konceptualisere PBL forløb som et Learning Design. Abstract Through the last 10 years, increasing numbers of students and a lack of resources at Aalborg University (AAU) have resulted in more classical lectures, which have occasioned a watering down and ritualization of the founding principles of PBL. In this paper, we argue that a revitalization of the PBL at AAU could be facilitated through the application of Learning Design. By using a case from Communication and Digital Media (CDM) we explore how Learning Design can act as a descriptive language and form, which can support the development of courses, teaching, and learning activities. Within the field of Learning Design two positions can be identified: 1) a position focusing on finding more effect and standard ways of running education, and 2) a position focusing on development and design of education. In this paper we discuss potentials and challenges of conceptualizing PBL as a Learning Design.
