To explain successful subject matter learning with digital tools, the specification of mediating cognitive processes is crucial for any empirical investigation. We introduce a cognitive process framework for the mechanisms of learning with digital tools (CoDiL) that combines core ideas from the psychology of instruction (utilization-of-learning-opportunity framework), cognitive psychology (knowledge-learning-instruction framework), and domain-specific research on learning and instruction. This synthesizing framework can be used to theoretically ground, firstly, the design of digital tools for learning, and secondly, the empirical analysis of students’ learning activities in digitally enriched educational settings via the analysis of specific student-tool interactions.

为了用数字工具解释成功的主题学习，中介认知过程的规范对于任何实证研究都至关重要。我们引入了数字工具学习机制的认知过程框架（CoDiL），该框架结合了教学心理学（学习机会利用框架）、认知心理学（知识学习教学框架）和领域的核心思想-关于学习和教学的具体研究。该综合框架可用于从理论上为学习数字工具的设计奠定基础，其次通过对特定学生与工具交互的分析，对数字丰富的教育环境中学生的学习活动进行实证分析。
