Workshop: Ideas and tools for your teaching | June 10th 2025

In this workshop you will get the chance to explore different digital learning technologies for creating learning activities for students. We will give short introductions and then you will get time to explore and design elements that you can use in your own teaching. 

Hopefully the activities can make it easier for you to start a good feedback dialogue in class with your students.  

In this workshop we will work with:  

• Activating students in lecturing – use Sendsteps to create interactive sessions with your students. Students can respond from mobile phones or laptop. This can be used for large classes also. 

• Automatic feedback – working with quiz in Absalon. Introduction to quiz  

• Padlet - how to use it for a Peer feedback dialogue  

 Intended Learning Outcome:    

After the course students will be able to:   

• Explain to a colleague, the pedagogical benefits for students working with loops of feedback and peer feedback for their learning   

• Identify different tools (like Absalon, Sendsteps, Padlet) to use for learning activities that provide feedback for students in a course   

• Describe how one of the digital learning technologies (like Absalon for assignments or Sendsteps for interactive sessions) can be used in your own course   

• List ways in which multiple learning activities can be used in combination in a course (like using quizzes in Absalon in combination with follow up activities in class)  

• Analyze the impact of these digital learning technologies on student engagement and learning in your course and evaluate their effectiveness in engaging students and enhancing learning   

• Create and implement 1-2 new learning activities using the digital learning technologies demonstrated in this workshop.   

 Please bring your own laptop.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the potential of generative AI in education. Participants will gain insights into how AI works and how it can be applied to design engaging learning activities that support student learning.

The workshop will focus on:

• Understanding the basics of generative AI in teaching, including the guidelines at UCPH.
• Gaining hands-on experience with generative AI to create engaging learning elements for students.

The workshop includes a blend of short presentations, group discussions, and hands-on activities designed to help you integrate generative AI into your teaching.
Bring your laptop and join us to explore, discuss, and practice ways to make AI a valuable ally in your educational toolkit.

Who can participate?
This workshop is ideal for teachers with little or some experience in AI who want to learn more about integrating generative AI in teaching and learning.

Limitations:
There must be a minimum of 6 participants registered for the workshop to be held.

In 2005, the American educational researcher Lee Shulman introduced the concept ‘signature pedagogies’. In brief, signature pedagogies refer to:

‘types of teaching that organize the fundamental ways in which future practitioners are educated for their new professions. In these signature pedagogies, the novices are instructed in critical aspects of the three fundamental dimensions of professional work – to think, to perform, and to act with integrity’ (Shulman 2005, p. 52)

The signature pedagogy can tell something about the future profession or practice that the education is leading to, just as it may act as means of socialization. Through the teaching practice of the signature pedagogy students learn about the values and practices of the profession or academic discipline they are on the path to enter.

In this workshop, we will introduce the concept of signature pedagogies and then examine the teaching practices within the disciplines of workshop participants to identify potential signature pedagogies. Following this exploration, participants will outline designs for signature pedagogies within their own fields and evaluate the feasibility of implementing these approaches within the framework of bachelor's and master's programmes at UCPH.
