Workshop
Date: Thursday 3 October 2024
Time: 09.00 – 12.00

Are there any digital tools that improve students’ learning or success more than others? Do you need to be an IT expert do use them in your class or can any teacher with an interest in developing their teaching start using digital tools today? In this workshop we will discuss which potential tools you can use in your classroom & how you can incorporate them into your teaching and courses both online and on campus.
This workshop is aimed for Teachers, course leaders and staff at Stockholm University involved in teaching of students
About the workshop
In the workshop we will discuss which potential tools you can use in your classroom & how you can incorporate them into your teaching and courses. In particular, we will look at flipped classroom, clickers/Zoom polls & virtual cases. If you want to explore any others let the workshop leader know the latest 2 weeks before the workshop and we will try to add that tool.
During the workshop we will:
- Consider advantages and disadvantages of various kinds of digital tools, in particular flipped classroom, clickers/polls & virtual cases/simple gamification.
- Provide you with tips on how to pick the right digital tool, both concerning digital literacy of teachers and students and legal risks (e.g. GDPR challenges).
- Showcase how digital tools can improve the sustainability of teaching and increase students’ learning.
- Discuss the need for a pedagogical goal with a tool instead of technology leading the way.
- Share and discuss challenges and solutions.
Workshop leader is Christine Storr, Lecturer at the Department of Law. The workshop is held in English
