Online teaching due to covid-19
Tips for distance teaching and web based tools.
Distance teaching and learning
The Teaching and Learning unit at KI (UoL) are presenting links on their web page to resources and strategies to be used for distance teaching and learning. In their calendar you can also find drop-in workshops for the use of Zoom in your course.
Another tip for learning about and sharing experiences from distance teaching: On Facebook there is a group named Digital omställning i högre utbildning NU for this purpose. Most of the discussions concern the use of Zoom (Swedish is the main language).
Pedagogical inspiration for teachers
A couple of collected pedagogical tips:
- Follow the unit Teaching and Learning’s web page about distance teaching and learning to learn more about Zoom, how to record your presentation, distribute your course material, how to conduct digital examinations etc.
- Join the KI Educator’s Network in Teams to share experiences, inspire and get inspired.
There are also several interesting online resources where you might find inspiration. Here are a couple of examples:
- Follow the blog and/or podcast Teaching in Higher Education.
- Read a blog post on the theme “How will the COVID-19 pandemic impact learning and development in the long term?”
- Inspirational video seminars How to VaVaVoom your Zoom by the educator/storyteller Katrice Horsley

Digital examinations
