In autumn 2025, the focus will be on course design, while spring 2026 will be dedicated to program design.<h3>Workshop Series</h3>The workshops are conducted in English, but your own work can be done in Swedish. The content of the workshops is interconnected and builds upon each previous session, but each workshop can also be attended independently. You may therefore choose to participate in individual sessions or in the entire series. During autumn 2025, the focus will be on course design, while spring 2026 will be dedicated to program design. On this page, you will find registration links for both the autumn and spring workshops.The target group for the autumn 2025 workshops includes course coordinators and others involved in developing new or adapting existing courses, as well as those responsible for making decisions about course structures and syllabi.During spring 2026, the workshops are aimed at program coordinators and others working with the development or revision of educational programs, as well as those involved in decision-making and evaluation of programs.<a href="/link/d03dd3ac3db64b9198a8887f222d2069.aspx">Register</a>Läraren, UPLWorkshop/en/events/learner-experience-design_12156855/2026-05-06T09:00:00+02:002026-05-06T12:00:00+02:00/en/events/kom---workshop-please-now-here_12070372/KOM - Workshop: Please?

The problem with instructions is rarely a lack of information — more often, it is the opposite. When overloaded, students struggle to identify what is important.By analysing your own course communication using established frameworks, you will gain insights into how to reduce cognitive overload and structure instructions in a way that helps students focus and plan. The goal is for you to leave the workshop with concrete strategies to improve your course instructions — thereby increasing clarity in both communication and learning.<a href="/link/abd4998933244c88b7c65c13a30f8109.aspx">Read more and register here</a>Läraren, UPLCourse/en/events/kom-workshop-information-or-exformation_12108750/2026-06-03T08:30:00+02:002026-06-03T12:00:00+02:00
