The course is based on a number of core concepts with relevance to course design: self-directed learning, assessment, view of knowledge and learning environment as well as leadership in education. Modules on writing learning outcomes, choice of pedagogical working methods and assessment are included. The course is based on literature and research in teaching and learning in higher education.

Presentations, group discussions and auscultation are included in the course. The participants will work on a pedagogical development project for their own teaching. During the course, all course assignments are collected in an individual portfolio. Specified literature is indicated for each scheduled meeting. To a large extent the work takes place in groups that stay together throughout the course.
