Invitation: Flexible learning environments at AAU: PBL teaching of today

University teachers today have a wide range of new opportunities in terms of technology and new teaching methods being developed both in relation to PBL teaching and general teaching. At the same time, AAU has an increased intake of students but also less psychical space to live out our traditional PBL model. At this seminar, we will show and discuss concrete examples from all four faculties as to how this challenge can be met and how we in practice can create new and more flexible learning environments to increase the learning for students throughout the university. After the seminar, a catalogue of examples of different learning environments will be developed and distributed.

The presenters at the seminar are part of a working group initiated by the PBL Academy. The seminar will be video broadcasted so all staff at the three campuses are welcome to join.
