Flipping the classroom

A ‘Flipped Classroom’ approach is a great way to provide students with an Active Learning opportunity. Active Learning is fundamental to the way we teach in Higher Education: engaging students in finding information and then developing their understanding of that material. It is key to deepening understanding of the subject and developing independent learners.

How to plan for hybrid teaching

Hybrid teaching means that students can take part in their education both through learning activities that are given digitally at a distance and physically on Campus, asynchronously on different occasions or synchronously with students both online and on Campus at the same time.

Hybrid teaching is an educational model in which some students attend a lecture or seminar in-person at campus, while others join virtually from home. Lecturers therefore teach remote and in-person students at the same time using tools like Zoom, alongside the full range of digital tools at Stockholm University.

Organize synchronous hybrid teaching

Synchronous hybrid teaching is a form of teaching where students are offered to participate in one and the same teaching opportunity either on site in the classroom or via screens from their digital devices. It is a form of teaching that creates a great deal of flexibility.

Developing as a supervisor

In its simplest form, being a supervisor means “leading someone by the hand”, for example through a learning process. The role of supervisor is partly about providing students with the conditions necessary for them to achieve set goals, but it is also about informing students about more practical details such as working hours and routines. A good relationship between doctoral student and supervisor is the basis for both parties to experience the supervision process as well as possible.
