From 2018 to 2023, Aarhus BSS will intensify its use of Educational IT on the school’s degree programmes. This is part of AU’s Educational IT initiative and focuses on the student learning. The initiative builds on the experiences gathered during the past few years in relation to increasing the use of digital learning technologies and learning activities in the teaching.
Together with the vice-dean for education, the directors of studies at Aarhus BSS have selected four Educational IT formats that constitute the framework of the initiative. This allows us to collect experiences and develop the teaching in a systematic manner.
If you are a lecturer and would like to start testing, developing or fine-tuning your use of Educational IT within the framework of the project, you can find out much more under ‘Process plan for the Educational IT project’
The Educational IT project at Aarhus BSS makes use of four course design formats for applying Educational IT in the teaching. This allows us to have a shared language in relation to the project initiatives and to monitor the goal of increasing the use of Educational IT in the teaching.
Here you will find a brief guide to each of the formats:
