Fika chat on learning environments – a wicked problem (?)
Are KTH's learning environments a so-called "wicked problem"? Or how can you define and translate the concept? Regardless, KTH's learning environments are a challenge that we at KTH need to address together: how can we make the most of what we have to support pedagogy and learning? Marcus Lithander and Anna Jerbrant meet Daniel Koch , Deputy GA at the School of ABE. Daniel has been appointed Assistant Programme Manager in the Future Education programme management as of 2025.

Fika chat on clear student information for AI and learning
How should students know if and how they can use AI in a course? The Faculty Council has now produced a joint KTH recommendation on what teachers should tell students about what applies. Vice Dean Nina Wormbs reveals the "theft", why the recommendation is so short and talks (in Swedish) to Marcus and Joakim about the development, implementation and effects for teachers and students around AI and learning.
What is the pedagogical value of open learning environments like Spaces, and why is it essential that they are open and accessible to KTH students? Watch a slightly different Fika Chat where Anders Cajander and Linus Remahl show Flemingsberg's open learning environments. After the tour, Marcus Lithander and Joakim Lillliesköld talk with Anders over coffee.
