We practice with effective, activating communication to all the students. What challenges do you have as a teacher? How do you keep track of things happening online when being in the room, or things happening in the room when you are online?  We explore how you can give all students, online or on campus, the feeling of “being part of the group” and mattering.<a href="/link/0bfa36cd5ef14425a0e0fd8ba7be68a4.aspx">Register here</a>Learning Lab, ZoomCourse/en/events/kom---workshop-split-attention_12069214/2025-10-29T08:30:00+01:002025-10-29T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/the-university-pedagogy-conference-2025_12106683/The University Pedagogy Conference 2025At this year’s university pedagogical conference, The Art of Teaching, we highlight the human, ethical, and creative dimensions of education.Thu, 06 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100<h2>November 6–7 | Humanities Building</h2>The conference is open to everyone working in higher education: teachers, educational developers, researchers, and leaders.

In a time when higher education is increasingly shaped by demands for digitalization, standardization, and measurable outcomes, there are good reasons to pause and reflect on other dimensions of teaching—those that cannot always be quantified but nonetheless shape the very core of educational quality.At this year’s university pedagogical conference, we aim to create a meeting place for exploring and re-establishing teaching as an art. What happens to the role of the teacher when teaching is reduced too much to mere necessary interactions, technical solutions, and efficiency demands? How can teachers make use of the enthusiastic, relational, and responsive aspects of teaching and thereby create truly meaningful and caring learning opportunities for our students?For this year’s conference, we especially welcome contributions that highlight one or more of the perspectives described above. At the same time, we want to emphasize that contributions addressing teaching and learning from other angles are equally welcome. The core idea of the conference is to gather contributions that, in different ways, enrich the conversation about teaching and learning in higher education.Humanities building, Umea universityConference/en/events/the-university-pedagogy-conference-2025_12106683/2025-11-06T09:00:00+01:002025-11-07T16:00:00+01:00/en/events/teaching-portfolio-i-e-ht25_12007179/Teaching portfolio I: Understanding teaching portfolioDevelop your knowledge of teaching portfolios as well as how to create and use them.
