Undervisningsformer

The teaching consists of lectures, peer discussion and group work.

A learning management system is used.

Students who have been admitted to and registered for a course have the right to receive instruction/supervision for the duration of the time period specified for the particular course instance to which they were accepted. After that, the right to receive instruction/supervision expires.

Undervisningen bedrivs på engelska.

Förkunskapskrav

Employment as university teacher, doctoral student or equivalent. English proficiency corresponding to at least English 5 or the equivalent is required.

Examination och betyg

Kursen bedöms med betygen Underkänd eller Godkänd.

The examination is based on the intended learning outcomes.

The course is examined through an individual written assignment and presentation.

The examination must allow for students to be assessed on an individual basis. Further information concerning assessment of specific intended learning outcomes and grading criteria is provided at the beginning of the course.

The final grade of the course is issued only when all elements of examination have been passed.

Students are guaranteed a minimum of three attempts to pass an examination, including the regular attempt.

If a student has failed the same examination three times, the student can request that the next attempt be graded by a new examiner. The decision to accept or reject such a request is made by the director of Educate. A student may not make a second attempt at any examination already passed in order to receive a higher grade.

In case a course is terminated or significantly altered, examination according to the earlier syllabus shall be offered on at least two occasions in the course of one year after the termination/alteration.

Kursvärdering

The instruction is followed up throughout the course. A course evaluation is conducted at the end of the course. A summary and comments are published in the learning management system. The evaluation constitutes a basis for future improvements to the course.

Övrigt

The course is intended for beginners in university teaching, but also for more experienced educators that wish to enhance the educational experience for their students.

The course applies management principles for managing the course design, planning, communication and delivery as well as the course evaluation, with the purpose of creating a predictable and consistent course environment for all parties involved. Through these skills, the participant will be able to enhance student satisfaction with their courses, which has the potential to improve commitment and engagement.

Using management analogy, this course will contribute to building knowledge and practical skills useful for:
a) designing a new course
b) planning the course delivery
c) delivering the course
d) evaluating the integral course experience as an input to the next course delivery.
