Short description

Upon completion of the blended learning course, participants will have acquired knowledge, skills and competences on pedagogical principles pertaining to being a university teacher who can reflect on his/her own and colleagues’ teaching practice. Participants will during the course develop and complete first draft of a personal teaching portfolio on teaching qualifications that can be used in appointments for future academic positions. Furthermore, they will acquire knowledge about strategies to evaluate teaching with the aim of applying a student-centred approach in teaching and creating alignment between the different elements and phases of teaching.

Short description

As a part of their teaching responsibilities, PhD-students sometimes supervise undergraduate students. In doing so, the PhD-students play an important role as a near-peer-supervisor guiding the students in their learning. This course aims to prepare PhD-students to act as co-supervisors on bachelor and master students assignments and/or learning processes.

Without this skill, it is impossible to finalize the review and interpret the results in order to provide a basis for clinical guidelines.

Short description

Mandatory for main supervisors.

The quality of PhD students’ education is largely dependent on the PhD supervisor’s competencies as a supervisor. The aim of the basic course in PhD supervision is to expand the participants’ repertoire of supervision strategies and methods in order to provide a flexible approach to supervision, strengthen their reflections on practices, roles and relationships in the supervision process, and share experiences and new knowledge for advancing PhD supervisors’ competencies.
