Inspiration for the development of your teaching
ST Learning Lab offer workshops and coaching within teaching development, and includes professional back-and-forth discussions and exchange of experience.
Furthermore, our knowledge is founded on extensive research.
Our courses are on demand and tailored to your needs.
In this workshop you will be introduced to activities and tools you can use to support students' active learning in your theoretical exercise class. It will be demonstrated how you can use e.g. peer-instruction and peer-feedback to revitalise group work and class discussions.
During the workshop we will discuss the design of your theoretical exercise class and you will develop one or more activities to be used in you course.
In this workshop you will be introduced to activities and tools you can use to support your students active learning during the different phases of your laboratory course: Preparing before going to the laboratory, working in the laboratory, and working on the lab report. During the workshop you will have the opportunity to discuss the design of your laboratory course and you will develop one or more activities to be used in your course.
At this workshop, we will discuss the challenges that PhD supervisors may face when preparing students for part A examination and the PhD defence. Standards and expectations for student progression and performance vary across countries and subject areas – and local GSST standards can therefore be somewhat obscure to the students.
Another challenge is that international examiners can be more influenced by the standards and traditions in their home institution than the local standards by which a PhD candidate should be assessed.
The workshop presents international research and local data that can inform supervision in assessments at GSST. It targets new as well as experienced supervisors.
Participants will be able to choose between different supervisory strategies that help students understand the examination process and perform well within it.
Coaching intended for anyone who wants inspiration to further develop their lecturing practice. You can come alone or together with your colleagues.
During the course, we will focus on active learning during lectures (e.g. by means of technology), students' preparation for lectures, design and composition of lectures, presentation and performance as well as any other things we agree on together. The course includes both an inspirational session and an observation of a lecture in which I observe and afterwards provides feedback.
Peer feedback is when students give each other the primary feedback instead of the educator. With peer feedback, they become more aware of what is quality in the work and performance of others, and thus how they transfer this to their work.
At the workshop, you will be introduced to activities and tools that can be used to incorporate peer feedback activities into your teaching appropriately. Peer feedback can be used both in supervision, classroom teaching, and lectures. We will demonstrate how you can employ peer feedback to increase active participation and breathe new life into group work and class discussions.
During the workshop, you will develop and discuss the arrangement of your learning design for peer feedback, which you can implement in your course.
After the workshop, you will be able to...

Assessments (exams) are one of the most important incentives for student motivation and student learning. Are you assessing all you want/need to assess and are you assessing at the right time?
Assessments have multiple functions such as judgement of student achievement, certification, and support for student learning. It is difficult to balance these functions and each course module has different challenges.
The workshop will be a mixture of inspiration to new assessment methods, general and specific considerations at ST, and a redesign of assessment methods in your own teaching. A special focus will be assessment and feedback during the course module (continuous assessment).
You will be introduced to various techniques, which can be used to create student activity and interaction in your lecture. You will learn digital techniques, like for example Mentimeter/AU VOTE. You will also learn 'analog' techniques to activate the students (e.g. Memory Matrix where students place concepts in a matrix) or one-minute papers (the last two minutes of the lecture is spent on student answers the question: "What was the most important thing you learned today?"and discuss it with the person next to him/her).
You will get hands-on experience with the tools and you will work with the tools in relation to your own teaching.
After the workshop you will be able to
During the workshop you will rethink/update the learning outcomes and competences for your own course module according to constructive alignment. You will discuss how you can use the SOLO taxonomy to make your leaning goals more precise. How is progression considered within your course module and in relation to previous and later courses? If your course module train and assess important academic competencies, how can these be included in the learning outcomes?
After the workshop you should be able to
Collegial supervision is when a group of three educators observe one another's lessons and have a controlled discussion afterwards. The observations are based on the desired focus of each educator. Participating in collegial supervision will allow you to reflect on your practice with colleagues, and thereby gain greater insight into your teaching.
Read more about collegial supervision.
At the first day of the workshop, you will get a thorough introduction to the tools for structured discussions. This is to ensure that the observation and subsequent discussions are held on each educator's premise.
Following this are two rounds where you will observe and reflect on one another's teaching (six observations/conversations).
Finally, we will have an evaluation meeting focusing on experiences and observations.
