  Workshop: Skräddarsy moment kring hållbar utveckling i din undervisning med hjälp av webbplattform
Plattformen är ett verktyg som kan användas kostnadsfritt av lärare på KTH och som har utvecklats i samarbete mellan KTH och Snowflake Education. Webbplattformen bygger på lärandeprincipen om ”blended learning”, dvs. att utnyttja det bästa av både klassrumsaktiviteter och nätaktiviteter. På online-plattformen finns det inspelade föreläsningar, stöd för interaktiva klassrumsseminarier, förslag på litteratur, lärarhandledningar samt infrastruktur för datorbaserade kunskapsprov och inlämningsuppgifter. Klassrumsaktiviteterna utgår från ett antal pedagogiska brädspel som har utvecklats specifikt för att användas inom lärande för hållbar utveckling. Tag med egen dator!
Datum: 11 mars, kl 13.00 – 15.00 Plats: Presidiet, Brinellvägen 8. > Anmälan
