The thesis by Nana Benjaminsen shows that in spite of heavy governmental investments there has been little change in the use ofdigital learning materials in schools in Denmark over the last 13 years. This work is inspired by her amazement at the stagnation of the integration of computer based teaching in primary school. This thesis investigates especially the processes of authorisations in these forms of teaching, and is theoretically inspired by ideas related to the field of Science and Technology Studies and in particular Actor-network Theory, since the thesis aims to describe the apparently human capacity of authorisation from a post-human position.
