    Active, lifelong learning has advanced to a “buzz word,” requiring highly motivated learners who are able to learn in a self-regulated manner, and to actively engage within a learning community utilizing new media. Facing this challenge, the paper focuses on the pedagogic dimension regarding both the learning process as well as the methodical and didactic creation of the social and cultural learning environment in the field of teacher education in the university context. As a consequence, a pedagogical framework will be outlined which serves together with the initial research question/subquestions - as a starting point and a point of reference. In order to develop an applicable pedagogical concept empirical exploration will be based upon three best-practice case studies in Germany, Switzerland, and the U.S. The paper outlines some preliminary findings of the first case study conducted in the field of teacher education in Germany in 2005.
