Hovedinnhold
Nytt påmeldingssystem
OBS: i juli vil det ikke bli tatt opptak på UPED-programmet. Svarbrev på eventuelle søknader vil komme i uke 31
Program for universitetspedagogikk skal ta i bruk et nytt påmeldingssystem for emner fra og med januar 2023. Systemet skal gjøre det enklere for deg å følge med på din egen deltakelse og gjennomføring av emner. Fra og med 18. november 2022 må deltakere som ønsker å ta UPED-emner, melde seg på programmet (via Søknadsweb). Etter opptak til programmet er det mulig å registrere seg for emne via Studentweb. Selv om overgangen til et nytt system krever litt ekstra arbeid nå, vil det på sikt gjøre programmet bedre organisert og mer brukervennlig for deltakerne våre. Takk for tålmodigheten mens vi gjennomfører denne endringen sammen!
Hva må jeg gjøre?
Hvis du vil ta emner i UPED-programmet, må du fullføre de følgende 6 trinnene for å melde deg opp:
- Du må søke om å bli deltaker i UPED-programmet via Søknadsweb. Bruk enten Feide- eller ID-porten til å logge deg inn. Hvis du er en ny internasjonal ansatt og ikke har fått tildelt noen av disse påloggingsmetodene ennå, ber vi deg kontakte UPED på uniped@uib.no for veiledning.
- Oppgi presis og oppdatert informasjon i søknaden (f.eks. nåværende stillingstittel). Dette brukes til å avgjøre om du er kvalifisert til å bli med i programmet.
- I Søknadsweb: velg "Studium Universitetspedagogikk, Søknadskode 5170"
- Etter at du har søkt om å delta i programmet, må du vente på godkjenning fra UPED-programadministratoren. Godkjenninger gis to ganger i uken. Det betyr at du kanskje må vente et par dager på at søknaden blir godkjent.
- Hvis du har ventet i mer enn 5 arbeidsdager på beskjed om du har fått plass på programmet eller ikke, eller du ikke har fått plass på programmet og har spørsmål i den forbindelse, kan du kontakte UPED på uniped@uib.no.
- Du vil få beskjed på e-post fra Søknadsweb når du er tatt opp i programmet.
- Mens du venter på godkjenning, kan du se informasjon om emnetilbud og datoer på UPED-nettsidene. UPED-nettsidene er det eneste stedet du kan finne oppdatert informasjon om emnene – denne informasjonen er ikke tilgjengelig i påmeldingssystemet.
- Etter at du har fått beskjed om opptak til programmet, må du gå til Studentweb og søke på emnene du ønsker å ta. Du må melde deg opp til hvert emne enkeltvis. Hvis du har registrert deg i Studentweb, har du fullført påmeldingen. Da får du ikke ytterligere bekreftelsesinformasjon fra Studentweb.
- Hvis du ikke er tilknyttet UiB, kan du melde deg på enkeltemner. Vi har ofte mulighet for å inkludere eksterne i programmet vårt. I unntakstilfeller kan det imidlertid hende at dette ikke er mulig på grunn av plassbegrensninger. Det kan dessverre også medføre at du får varsel i siste øyeblikk om at du ikke vil kunne bli med på det aktuelle emnet.
- Marker og blokker alle datoene for emner du er påmeldt, i kalenderen. Emnene kjøres vanligvis som halv- eller heldagsmøter med mindre annet er angitt, med betydelige arbeidsmengder før og mellom møtene. Ved eventuelle endringer i emnet, som endret dato/klokkeslett eller avlyste timer, mottar du informasjon om dette så snart som mulig.
- Rundt 1–3 uker før et emne begynner, mottar du en melding fra emneinstruktøren. Husk at mange av emnene våre krever forberedelsesarbeid før det første møtet, så det betyr vanligvis at du må komme raskt i gang. Meldingen fra instruktøren kan komme på e-post og/eller via kunngjøringer i Mitt UiB (Canvas), så sørg for at kontaktinformasjonen din og varslingsinnstillingene i Mitt UiB er oppdatert.
Hva om jeg trenger å ...
- … trekke meg fra et emne
- Hvis du må trekke deg fra et emne, må du melde deg av emnet i Studentweb. Mange av UPED-emnene er svært populære, så vi ber alle deltakere om å melde seg av emner så snart de vet at de ikke kan delta, slik at ledige plasser frigis til dem som trenger dem.
- … informere om og ta opp tilgjengelighets-/tilretteleggingsbehov for et UPED-emne
- Hvis du har tilgjengelighets-/tilretteleggingsbehov i forbindelse med et UPED-emne må du kontakte instruktøren for emnet direkte. Du finner kontaktinformasjonen deres sammen med emneinformasjonen på UPED-nettsidene.
- … stille spørsmål om et emne
- Hvis du har et spesifikt spørsmål om et emne, og du ikke finner det du lurer på på UPED-nettstedet, kan du kontakte instruktøren for emnet direkte. Du finner kontaktinformasjonen deres sammen med emneinformasjonen på UPED-nettsidene.
Generell informasjon om programregistrering:
- Se på emnet og merk deg datoer/klokkeslett, undervisningsform (ansikt til ansikt, nettbasert, kombinert) og undervisningsspråk (norsk, engelsk)
- De som er nye på programmet, må først melde seg på UPED600. Du kan om ønskelig melde deg på valgemner samtidig med at du melder deg på UPED600.
- Vær oppmerksom på at emnene er åpne for alle ansatte og ph.d.-kandidater.
- Vær oppmerksom på at alle emnene krever minst 80 % fremmøte til alle synkrone aktiviteter. Hvis du ikke er i stand til å oppfylle kravene til fremmøte, bør du ikke melde deg på undervisningen.
- Det kan være lurt å besøke siden med "Ofte stilte spørsmål" hvis du trenger mer informasjon om programmet eller programregistreringen.

Elective course in Educational Technology
Course Code / Title | UPED655: Student-Response Systems ***Elective Course (Educational Technology) |
Goals and Content | While SRS have been connected to physical devices (i.e., “clickers”) that students must purchase, many newer SRS can be used through apps available on cellphones or through web browser extensions. In essence, Student Responses Systems (SRS) are used in classrooms (physical or online) to quickly collect responses or answers to questions from every student, and, if useful, to visually display a summary of these responses for in-depth conversations in class or later reflection. SRS help instructors enhance engagement and discussion among students, encouraging peers to work together while thinking through complex materials. They also allow for more structured collaborative learning approaches (e.g., team-based learning) that can enhance students’ preparation for class through group work and peer accountability. In this way, while SRS can help students to remember information and concepts, they are best employed through the application of course concepts to a variety of contexts and possible scenarios. In addition to understanding how to make informed decisions about which SRS would be right for you, the course will address concepts related to peer learning and ways to increase student accountability while providing them with more focused feedback.
We will explore and discuss the following questions:
|
Learning Outcomes | At the completion of the course, the participants will be able to: |
Knowledge | |
| |
Skills | |

General Competencies | |
| |
Teaching and Learning Methods | The course is designed to take place on a single day and will focus on the best practices for designing interactive discussions and assignments that employ SRS. The day will concentrate primarily on how SRS works, how SRS can be understood pedagogically through a variety of case studies, and how participants can model their own practices in order to use SRS in their classes.
The course will provide opportunities to explore multiple case studies that employ SRS. Participants will explore the research on best practices, develop course materials and activities, receive feedback on those materials, and share their ideas and experiences with colleagues. It is expected that participants will develop learning materials and/or activities in the periods between the training session and the assignment deadlines that address either specific content or a specific learning objective in their course(s) and that participants will give each other feedback on those materials in the sessions.
Participants are expected to develop a plan for more in-depth or specific uses of SRS and submit them electronically for feedback and credit. They are also expected to write a brief response/reflection on an article about the use of SRS in their discipline. |
Forms of Assessment | Assignments will include the development of a plan for using SRS in a lesson in their course and writing a response to a scholarly article on the use of SRS.

UPED662 Using Peer Feedback to Enhance Learning (English) 15 hours
Robert Gray and Tatiana Ershova
One day course: 29. September
Course Code / Title | UPED662: Using Peer Feedback to Enhance Learning ***Elective Course |
Goals and Content | This course is for instructors at UiB who would like to employ peer assessment in their courses. Considered primarily as an approach to collaborative learning, peer assessment involves asking students to evaluate their peers’ work and have their work evaluated by peers. As formative assessment, peer assessment gives students feedback on the quality of their work with ideas and strategies for improvement. While this process of evaluating peers can provide direct assistance for students developing work individually or in groups, peer assessment can also enhance the evaluators’ understanding of their own learning development and sense of self-confidence. To this end, peer involvement centers the learning experience on students directing each other’s development. When used as an element of the grading process, peer assessment can give the instructor powerful insights into how students are developing a wider array of skills. While there are logistical challenges for implementing assignments that utilize peer assessment in large classes, this approach may nevertheless allow students to feel less anonymous even if the process is partially automated through the use of rubrics.
Regardless of class size or format, peer assessment techniques vary considerably and are often best understood through concrete examples. To give effective and useable feedback to fellow learners, students need to be able to practice this approach using guidelines as well as clear, unambiguous assessment criteria and approaches to scoring. In order to take full advantage of peer assessment, instructors should be prepared to discuss the value of peer assessment through these practice exercises.
We will explore and discuss the following questions:

Course description
This course focuses on learning about supervision through engagement with community expertise and dialogue. This course includes participation in two panel discussions and debrief conversations, practical and reflective written assignments, reading of literature on supervision and short preparation tasks for the course.
The panels are comprised of experienced supervisors from several disciplines at different institutions, including Universitetet i Bergen. Panel discussions will focus on key areas such as the development as a supervisor and supporting students who are struggling. Following the panel discussions, course participants will have short small group discussions on topics, questions or ideas. Attendance at both panel discussions and group discussions in their entirety is required to complete the course.
In addition to attending the panels and discussion sessions, participants will read scholarly works on supervision and pedagogy and complete short written assignments related to supervision. The first written assignment is the development of a Supervision Orientation Method for use at beginning of supervisory relationships. The second written assignment is a Supervision Statement (for use in a Teaching Portfolio). The third written assignment will be developed in conjunction with the panelists; there will be multiple options for the third assignment and course participants can select one to complete.
