What are we really looking for when we require students to express ideas in their own words in an assignment, or to demonstrate independence in a degree project? And how can we design assessments that genuinely evaluate what we intend to assess?</p><p>This workshop is a workshop in the truest sense of the word: we experience, reflect, and try again. We do not offer ready-made answers, but we do offer engaging questions that help us think more deeply and become wiser together.</p><h3>AI for Learning</h3><p>This workshop is part of the <a href="/link/c215b0688cd3488c8e8cb55435468d41.aspx">AI for Learning</a> initiative at Ume&aring; University. The initiative aims to establish a university wide platform for knowledge development, experience sharing and collegial learning. Through workshops, seminars, conferences and thematic working groups, the goal is to both deepen and broaden the University's work with AI for learning.</p>Online, ZoomWorkshop/en/events/originality-and-independent-thinking-in-the-age-of-ai-an-illusion_12177862/2026-12-03T15:00:00+01:002026-12-03T16:30:00+01:00/en/events/introduction-to-canvas_12176409/A workshop for you as an employee who is completely new to CanvasThu, 10 Dec 2026 13:00:00 +0100<p>The workshop is an introductory basic training course and is aimed at you as an employee who is completely new to Canvas, or has just started.</p><p><strong>Language:</strong> Swedish</p><p><a href="https://umu-upl.eduportal.se/kurs/570353/event">Register for the workshop</a></p>Stora konferensrummet, UPLWorkshop/en/events/introduction-to-canvas_12176409/2026-12-10T13:00:00+01:002026-12-10T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/kom-workshop-empathic-course-design_12174334/A workshop where you explore students’ experiences and develop teacher-student communication to strengthen learning and student agency.Wed, 03 Feb 2027 08:30:00 +0100<h2>Empathic Course Design</h2><p>In this workshop, we put the students at the center and think about teacher-student communication for a sustainable and prosperous student life, in which learning is promoted and the student feels agency. How do students experience our courses or programmes? And how can we connect to that experience and support their learning? We will work with empathy mapping and learning journey mapping to form nuanced narratives of our students and take relational pedagogy to the next level.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://umu-upl.eduportal.se/kurs/600064/event">Register to the workshop</a></p><h3>Communication for learning</h3><p>The workshop is part of the course <a href="/link/468ae00cbfb14ed48368b313e9ba5c02.aspx">Communication for learning</a> (KOM), but is open for everyone to attend.&nbsp;</p>Läraren, UPLWorkshop/en/events/kom-workshop-empathic-course-design_12174334/2027-02-03T08:30:00+01:002027-02-03T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/kom-workshop-co-creating-with-students_12174342/Explore how to co create with students in your teaching to strengthen motivation, engagement and student centered learning.Wed, 03 Feb 2027 13:00:00 +0100<p>Co-creation with students has become more and more common in higher education.

For this, we have zoom rooms on campus, and special rooms like Aula Biologica in Biologihuset.&nbsp;</p><p>In this &ndash; synchronously hybrid &ndash; workshop we work with possible lay-outs of the classroom and learning activities. We practice with effective, activating communication to all the students. What challenges do you have as a teacher? How do you keep track of things happening online when being in the room, or things happening in the room when you are online? &nbsp;We explore how you can give all students, online or on campus, the feeling of &ldquo;being part of the group&rdquo; and mattering.</p><p><a href="https://umu-upl.eduportal.se/kurs/584546/event">Registration workshop</a></p><h3>Communication for learning</h3><p>The workshop is part of the course <a href="/link/468ae00cbfb14ed48368b313e9ba5c02.aspx">Communication for learning</a> but is open for everyone to attend.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>Läraren, UPLWorkshop/en/events/kom-workshop-hybrid-teaching---split-attention_12173732/2027-03-03T13:00:00+01:002027-03-03T16:30:00+01:00/en/events/kom-workshop-power-to-the-point_12173859/Why, when, and how to use Powerpoint (and other presentation software)Wed, 07 Apr 2027 08:30:00 +0200<h3>Why, when, and how to use Powerpoint&nbsp;(and other presentation software)</h3><p>Using multiple media in your teaching can help your students to learn more effectively. But it can also have the opposite effect. In this workshop, we focus on the use of visual presentations in teaching, and how to make those support, not distract. You will learn to think in terms of the user experience and cognitive load and apply basic graphic design guidelines.

The problem with instructions is rarely a lack of information &mdash; more often, it&nbsp;is the opposite. When overloaded, students struggle to identify what is important.</p><p>By analysing your own course communication using established frameworks, you will gain insights into how to reduce cognitive overload and structure instructions in a way that helps students focus and plan. The goal is for you to leave the workshop with concrete strategies to improve your course instructions &mdash; thereby increasing clarity in both communication and learning.</p><p><strong><a href="https://umu-upl.eduportal.se/kurs/586419/event">Registration workshop</a></strong></p><h3>Communication for learning</h3><p>The workshop is part of the course <a href="/link/468ae00cbfb14ed48368b313e9ba5c02.aspx">Communication for learning</a> but is open for everyone to attend.</p>Läraren, UPLWorkshop/en/events/kom-workshop-information-or-exformation_12173884/2027-06-02T13:00:00+02:002027-06-02T16:30:00+02:00
