12:00–13:00 LUNCH
13:00–14:30 Workshop Sessions (limited capacity, first come, first served!)
1. Linking education and research at the School of Engineering - Today and tommorow. Together with Marie Magnell, KTH, we will use a model of different ways of linking education and research to discuss how we do the linking today, and where we want to go tomorrow.
2. Active Learning Classrooms.
Teaching in an active learning classroom: transformation and regeneration.
Sofia Nodén, Peola Johansson and Daniel Glimryd from the University library. C3028
3. Internationalization
We will discuss the concept of "internationalization at home". Learn about the students' perspective from Hi Tech and a JU student initiative on internationalization, and share your experience and views on the ways forward.
4. "Bring your own demonstration - Tools for education"
Share and/or discover tools for education. Moderated by Jörgen Gustafsson and Johan Kohlin from the School of Engineering.
14:30–15:00 COFFEE BREAK
15:00–16:30 Workshop Sessions (limited capacity, first come, first served!)

About the speakers
Anna-Karin Carstensen is Senior Lecturer in Engineering Education Research at the School of Engineering, Jönköping University. In her thesis she describes how students make links between the theory/model-world and the object/event-world, when teaching materials are carefully prepared using Variation Theory. She teaches as well engineering education as computer science, especially embedded systems. She is a member of the Pedagogical Development Group (PED), where her monitoring area is CDIO.
Alastair Creelman is an e-learning specialist at Linnaeus University in Kalmar. He works as a project leader and consultant in e-learning/distance education. Alastair is particularly interested in the development of open educational resources in education, MOOCs, social media, digital literacy and quality in e-learning.
Ulf Gran is an Associate Professor and the Vice Head of the Department of Physics at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. His research focuses on black holes in string theory. He was awarded the annual pedagogical prize at Chalmers in 2016.
Jörgen Gustafsson is Senior Lecturer in Physics at the School of Engineering, Jönköping University. He has long experience from working with online courses and virtual learning environments. Jörgen is a member of the Board of Education and Research Education at Jönköping University (NUF) and the Pedagogical Development Group at the School of Engineering (PED), where his monitoring area is IT in higher education.
