Teaching Days: University of Akureyri

The Teaching Days of the Teaching Academy begin on Friday, March 13th and last for a whole week until Friday, March 20th, where the public universities organize open and in-person events in all departments of the University of Iceland and the other public schools. 

Event organized by the University of Akureyri: Strengthening student-centered university teaching workshops. University of Akureyri, room N102, 13:30-15:00. Local event. Everyone is welcome.  

Members of the Teaching Academy at the University of Akureyri, Jette Jörgensen, Hafdís Skúladóttir, Sean Michael Scully and Guðmundur Ævar Oddsson, offer an interesting workshop on a student-centered approach. In higher education, there is an increasing emphasis on a student-centred approach as a key component of effective teaching and meaningful learning. Even so, traditional instructional surveys, which often yield little response and provide limited feedback, only provide a narrow perspective on the student experience. This workshop is based on three micro-presentations from teachers in nursing and resource science, each of whom has explored ways to listen to and integrate students' voices before, during, and after courses begin.  

Those who intend to attend are asked to register in Ugla UNAK, where further information can be found.
