#54 Video podcast with Anders Cajander and Linus

Published Mar 12, 2025

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 Cajander over coffee.

Framework principle 5

Available experimental environments

The fith principle in the framework of the Future Education at KTH is Available experimental environments. The definition is: "At KTH, education is characterised by a high degree of interactive teaching elements and available experimental environments that develop practical professional skills and contribute to new thinking, innovative solutions and new ways of working."

Definitions of the 13 framework principles

You can also view video files in KTH Play: you can watch the videos and read the text files (which you can use, for example, to translate).
