Now that teaching in the fall semester will be offered (partly) online, many academic staff are re-designing their courses/programs. The online context makes it even more challenging to have students participate in activities and engage them with the discipline or professional field. In this seminar, we focus on strategies and approaches that can be used to engage students and adapt teaching to the current situation, taking the following question as the point of departure:
- How to design course activities that stimulate students’ engagement with disciplinary/professional contents?
The seminar opens with a presentation from Crina Damsa, LINK Centre for Learning, Innovation and Academic Development. Crina will present some key factors to take into consideration when attempting to re-design courses or activities when teaching takes place fully or partially online.
Kristin Vasb?, from the Department of Teacher Education and School Research, will present an example of how she has re-designed her course to increase student participation, encourage a deeper engagement with the subject content, and ensure close integration between learning outcomes, course activities and student assessment.
We then proceed to open discussion and share experiences.
