Course content and structure

The main object of the course is to provide an opportunity for you to develop skill and confidence in your teaching by:

  • getting acquainted with the regulations, rules and policies for university teaching
  • discussing and reflecting on selected educational readings in higher education teaching and learning
  • identifying core concepts of teaching and students’ learning in Higher Education
  • observing a colleague’s teaching.
  • planning different forms of teaching in your own discipline

This will all together provide a solid basis for your teaching. The course contains synchronous as well as asynchronous assignments and offers six mandatory interactive seminars which give you good opportunities to reflect on and discuss both your role as a teacher and the students’ learning processes.

The course corresponds to two weeks' full-time work, i.e. equivalent to 3 credits. The course is bilingual with English as the primary language of instruction. Swedish or English can be used for written assignments.
