Conference theme: Active teaching and learning
The presentations in parallel sessions will mostly focus on four tracks:
- Teaching methods: The use of analogue and digital resources, learning in class and between classes, designing active teaching and learning in large or small Groups of students.
- Inclusive teaching approaches for different groups of students: Activating lesson plans that specifically relate to students' prerequisites, including internationalisation, multiculturalism or unfamiliarity with academic learning.
- Evaluation: The relation between activating teaching and tests (formative and summative)/feedback/assessment of teaching.
- Special focus on: Learning spaces: The relation between activating teaching and the virtual/physical learning spaces, including design, use and evaluation of learning spaces.
Format and language: The conference comprises one keynote lecture by PhD Jonas Nordquist, Karolinska Institute and parallel sessions with short communications, poster presentations and workshops covering the four tracks of the conference.
