| Teaching and learning activities | This online course is based on peer- and self-regulated learning strategies and theories of experiential learning, collaboration, and meaningful learning. This means that active participation during course sessions is an essential part of the course content. The learning environment is digital and where participants meet both synchronously and asynchronously through Canvas and Zoom. The course is primarily focused on individual written assignments and peer-feedback and participants must be prepared for some substantial scholarly work. Students get the opportunity to experience a variety of teaching-learning activities and teaching techniques related to e.g. lectures, different forms of seminars and group work. The variety of forms is planned to facilitate learning and serve as models for own teaching. Diversity and equal treatment in relation to teaching and learning are considered during the course. |
| Compulsory elements | - Participation during three webinars. The webinars, scheduled for 1.5 hours each, are used to follow up two of the assignments and will be held in Zoom.
- Provide feedback based on peer-review of one written essay. Absence from compulsory sessions will need to be compensated through written tasks. |
| Examination | Participants will through a written essay describe and review a teaching experience (or if needed participated as a student) within higher education, reason about the experience based on pedagogical theories/principles. The essay maybe written in English or Swedish and will be presented orally. |
