Course description

Teaching at a university is a complex affair. It is not simply a case of passing on information. It is the teacher’s job and responsibility to create a learning environment in which students can actively acquire knowledge and academic skills and become increasingly independent in monitoring their own learning activities. The teacher’s primary task is to support the student’s learning process. This confronts teachers with a host of questions, like: How can I motivate students? How do I effectively prepare for classes? How do I give feedback to students? How can I improve student learning? How do I engage students with various interests and preferred methods of learning? How do I create a safe and inclusive learning environment in which all my students can thrive?

In this course we will collectively shape your knowledge on teaching and search for answers on those questions. You can obtain a proof of participation for this course. If necessary (e.g., in case of changing employers), proof of participation for an individual module can be converted into a partial certificate for BKO. If you successfully complete all modules, you can, if you choose to, obtain your full BKO certificate.
