Ongoing activities
Here are the major projects, initiatives and activities currently underway in Sub-Portfolio Education. These projects have longer timeframes, often spanning several operational periods.
Support for educational activities at Cybercampus
Cybercampus will gather and carry out education, research, and development in cybersecurity. After its first year of operation in 2024, a number of needs have been identified, which Cybercampus has channeled to the Digitalization Portfolio Education.
The work includes relevant support and solutions for educational activities that are not university courses at Cybercampus. This applies, for example, to LMS (future need for a learning platform for managing participants without a KTH account/Ladok), badges/certifications (need to be able to issue these for certain courses/participants) and publication of course offerings (Cybercampus needs to be able to publish a selection of courses from KTH but also other universities via its own website).
Discontinuation of KOPPS
KOPPS is being discontinued as KTH has transitioned to education planning in Ladok.

Examination flow team
A cross-functional team linked to the examination flow is being established with the aim of developing and improving working methods for planning, coordinating and prioritizing long-term development efforts. The aim is to manage needs and changes and strengthen cooperation between IT support, business support and pedagogy to meet the educational challenges of the future within examination.

Finished activities
Here are the projects, initiatives and activities finished in Sub-Portfolio Education.
Education planning in Ladok (UPL)
The system support for education planning, currently available in Kopps, has been replaced with a new, more modern, user-friendly system support in Ladok. The system support in Ladok, which includes process support, enables a simpler and more uniform way of working for planning and determining programme and course offerings.

New IT system support for course evaluation and course analysis (KvKa)
To strengthen and facilitate course evaluation and course analysis, KTH developed a new IT system with a higher degree of automation. The new system also provides better access to data to support developing the quality of courses. The system launched during the spring semester 2025 (VT25).

Examination invigilator shift management in TentaAdmin
The project aims to enable centralized invigilator shift management, reduce duplication, eliminate risks of manual handling, ensure more stable operation and enable the phasing out of Kopps (KTH's proprietary education planning system).
Establishment and re-establishment of objects according to the new collaboration model for managing system support at KTH (S3K)
S3K is a joint KTH initiative that clarifies responsibilities between operations and IT and organizes management and development activities so that they can be conducted in a businesslike, appropriate and controllable manner.
Replacement of Kopps' schedule documentation (EKS)
The basis for the schedule form, currently available in Kopps, has been replaced with new system support through the TE Preferences module in the scheduling system TimeEdit. In close collaboration with the supplier and with the help of user tests, the project has developed a form that supports KTH's needs. It makes it easier to submit and retrieve information before scheduling the course. The system was implemented autumn 2023 ahead of scheduling for autumn 2024.
Canvas@KTH for new employees
The Canvas@KTH training was developed to achieve a more efficient use of, and increased quality in, KTH's digital learning environment. The training gives participants a basic understanding of how Canvas and its functions should be used at KTH. The goal is for Canvas to be used more equally and uniformly in different courses, making it easier for students to navigate Canvas and promoting focus on the course content. The University Director decided (V-2024-0182) that all new employees who will design or administer activities in Canvas must complete the training.

Anonymous assessment of written on-campus exam
The Student Union at KTH (THS) has long wanted students' test answers to be anonymized before correction/assessment. In May 2023, the University Director was commissioned (V-2023-0435) to develop support so that anonymization of test answers can be implemented from the spring semester 2024. The sub-portfolio's assignment was to develop a procedure for anonymization of test answers during written on-campus exam, for example in written exams, control writing and the like. The sub-portfolio also developed user support and investigated which functions can be developed for anonymous examination in Canvas, for example for quizzes.
The personal menu
Employees and students use the personal menu as a shortcut to some of KTH's various tools and services. In the fall of 2022, work began improving manageability and better meeting users' needs. A new version for students and teachers launched in 2023. Continuous improvements will also be made.
Programme rooms in Canvas
KTH has introduced programme rooms in Canvas for the fall semester of 2023 and common recommendations for programme communication. In the fall of 2022, a needs analysis and function inventory was made where Canvas was judged to be a good system for programme communication when the programme web will be shut down.
