Furthermore, participants get the opportunity to develop their own teaching through the individual course assignment.
Scope and assessment

On completion of the course, the participant shall be able to

- be able to formulate learning outcomes and based on these to plan and argue for teaching and learning activities, assessment and evaluation with support in pedagogical theory and within existing frameworks
- identify factors that characterise inclusive pedagogy
- reflect on the importance of the learning environment for learning
- explain what self-directed learning can mean and how a portfolio tool can support it
- be able to utilize own and others' experiences and communicate relevant results of own pedagogical development work to colleagues.
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.
