This course is about how we can facilitate and promote learning in others and in ourselves. From an educator's perspective and from a broad general perspective. The themes that we will be addressing are learning strategies, growth mindset, effective feedback, critical thinking, and creative thinking.

The study materials will be made available on Toledo.

Five blended sessions in which the students will work according to the "flipped classroom" principle. Each session requires thorough preparation and reading ahead of time. During the contact sessions the lecturer only briefly revisits the content, creating space to deepen the topics together through cooperative methods and discussions. Students will be informed at the start of the semester. The preparatory reading is expected to be done so the work in class can go on as planned.
