A course for university teachers focusing on supporting student active learning, promoting engagement as well as the development of transferable skills.

Active learning implies engagement per design, promoting cognitive processes that makes learning more effective and engaging for all participants. It also has an impact on the joy of learning, student agency and the development of transferable skills.

This course takes a very hands-on approach to investigating and exploring active learning strategies together.
