In this hands-on workshop we will introduce you to different ways to work with feedback for students.  You will leave the workshop with student learning activities ready to use immediately in your teaching.  
 
Target group: 
 
The workshop is for teachers, who wants to learn how to add learning activities, which provides feedback for students.   
 
Intended Learning Outcome:   

After the course students will be able to:  

  • Explain to a colleague, the pedagogical benefits for students working with loops of feedback and peer feedback for their learning  
       
  • Identify different tools (like Absalon, Sendsteps, FeedbackFruites) to use for learning activities that provide feedback for students in a course  
     
  • Describe how one of the digital learning technologies (like Absalon for assignments or Sendsteps for interactive sessions) can be used in your own course  
     
  • List ways in which multiple learning activities can be used in combination in a course (like using quizzes in Absalon in combination with follow up activities in class) 
     
  • Analyze the impact of these digital learning technologies on student engagement and learning in your course and evaluate their effectiveness in engaging students and enhancing learning  
      
  • Create and implement 1-2 new learning activities using the digital learning technologies demonstrated in this workshop.  

 

The workshop will be a combination of instruction and hands-on exercises where you will work on your own course. Participants will get time to explore new ways to engage students in learning. We will work with different activities that will be ready to use in small or large classes.  

In the course we will look at: 

  • Assignment with personal feedback in Absalon – e.g. recording the feedback in a sound- or video 
  • Feedback in lecturing – use Sendsteps to create interactive sessions with your students. They can respond from mobile phones or laptop. This can be used for large classes also.  
  • Quizzes in combination with small activities in class – use quizzes in Absalon for students to reflect on and work actively with their learning.  
  • Peer feedback – use FeedbackFruites to create peer feedback activities. This can be used for large classes also.  
  • Video for presentations in class – let students produce videos and get feedback from teacher and peers in class  

The intention is that you leave the workshop with activities ready to implement in your teaching. Part of the workshop is that we work with ChatGPT or Bing to help you get ideas for your activities. You will also be introduced to cases and examples from other teachers at SCIENCE to inspire you.

Formål
At styrke instruktorer i rollen som undervisere ved at arbejde med værktøjer, der øger bevidstheden om handlemuligheder i undervisningen, så de føler sig bedre rustet til opgaven.

Læringsmål
Gennem kurset opnår I redskaber til:

  • Planlægge, gennemføre og evaluere egen undervisning med fokus på de studerendes læring 
  • Identificere udfordringer og handlemuligheder i en given undervisningssituation 
  • Planlægge, gennemføre og evaluere en konkret afgrænset prøvehandling i egen undervisning
  • Reflektere over rollen som underviser

Format 
Kurset har et omfang på ca. 10 undervisningstimer fordelt på 2 -3 kursusdage. Kurset indledes med workshopaktiviteter over to dage og afsluttes med en refleksionsopgave, som præsenteres på et afsluttende møde (eller alternativt med en skriftlig afløsningsopgave). Vi forventer at deltagerne er aktive i diskussioner både i grupper, i plenum og på kursets virtuelle platform. Deltagerne afleverer mindre opgaver forud for og mellem kursusgangene.

Målgruppe
Kurset er rettet mod studerende, der er ansat som instruktorer / teaching assistants (TAs) på Det Natur- og Biovidenskabelige Fakultet. Kurset er fortrinsvis tiltænkt nye instruktorer på SCIENCE, men erfarne instruktorer er også meget velkomne. Hvis der skulle være ledige pladser, kan vi evt. optage deltagere som ikke er fra SCIENCE.

Ph.d.-studerende og post.doc’s anbefales at følge kurset "Introduktion til Universitetspædagogik"  (IUP) som er mere omfattende end instruktorkurset. 

Kurset udbydes også på engelsk, næste gang til august 2026

Dag og tid 
Tirsdag den 27. januar 2026 kl. 9.30 - 15.00: Heldagsworkshop med obligatorisk fysisk fremmøde
Torsdag den 29. januar 2026 kl. 10.00 - 11.00: Kort online workshop
Torsdag den 16. april 2026 eller onsdag den 24. juni 2026 kl. 13:00-15:00: Afsluttende møde.

Learning outcomes

The course provides participants with new perspectives on teaching through different kinds of activities (group discussions, exchange of experiences, presentations) and enables the teaching assistants to plan, carry out and evaluate their teaching, focusing on the students´ learning outcome. 

Through the course, participants will be provided with tools: 

  • To plan, carry out and evaluate their teaching 
  • To identify challenges and opportunities to act in a given teaching situation 
  • To try out/ test and evaluate new initiatives in their teaching. 

Format 

The course has a scope of approx 10 hours of teaching. The course starts with workshop activities (on site and online) and is concluded with an assignment. In the assignment each participant reflects on their teaching. The assignment is presented at a final meeting a few months after the first day of the course. The course is based on active participation in both plenary, group and virtual discussions, based on the experiences of the participants. Each participant hands in small assignments during the course.

Target group 
The main target group for the TA course are students who are hired as teaching assistants at the Faculty of Science.

Please note that you must be employed as a TA in order to complete the TA course.  

We have two versions of the course: 

  • Danish version: Primarily for TAs teaching on bachelor courses, especially first year courses. 
    Participants should be able to speak and participate in discussions in Danish. Registration
  • English version: Primarily for TA's teaching master courses (or courses at later years at the bachelor education). 


Day and time 
Next English course starts in August 2026

Facilitators: Anita Monty Amon@adm.ku.dk, Christine Holm cholm@adm.ku.dk & Dorte Christiansen Elmeskov dorte.elmeskov@adm.ku.dk

Course structure and format 

The course is split into two parts with the intention that you will, together with the facilitators of the course, design and plan and record a video for your upcoming teaching. In the second part of the course we will all meet together, and begin editing your videos, ready for your upcoming teaching.  

Intended Learning Outcomes:  

After the course participants will be able to:  

  • Explain to a colleague, how “the backwards method” can be used to decide the content for a video aimed at students in a course.  
  • Utilise videos for your teaching in a pedagogically substantiated way.  
  • Design a storyboard and write a manuscript for a 3–5-minute video about a subject related to your teaching. 
  • Select appropriate hardware for recording a video for a course. 
  • Upload a video in the learning platform “Absalon” to make it available for students in a course 
  • Edit a video using digital software, Microsoft Clipchamp including adding subtitles and animations.
