Current projects and initiatives in Sub-portfolio Education
Below is a brief presentation of the sub-portfolios larger development projects that the teams are working on.
Current projects and initiatives
New IT system support for course evaluation and course analysis
To strengthen and facilitate course evaluation and course analysis, KTH has decided to develop a new IT system with a higher degree of automation. The new system will also provide better access to data to support developing the quality of courses. The system will be tested during the spring semester 2024 (VT24) and introduced live during the autumn semester 2024 (HT24).

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.

Examination flow team
The establishment of a cross-functional team linked to the examination flow has commenced. The overall objective of the assignment is to test, evaluate, and further develop a cross-functional approach to developing and improving the examination flow.
The flow team is to build up and maintain the ability and structure for ongoing and long-term management of planning, coordination, and prioritization of development, as well as emerging changes in the external environment and new needs related to the examination flow.
The purpose of establishing the examination flow team is to plan and coordinate long-term development efforts in the examination area from a holistic perspective around needs and challenges. This coordination will involve IT support, operational support, and pedagogy working together to enable the education of the future.
Education planning in Ladok
The system support for education planning, currently available in Kopps, will be replaced with a new, more modern, user-friendly system support in Ladok. The system support in Ladok, which includes process support, will enable a simpler and more uniform way of working for planning and determining programme and course offerings. The project is expected to be completed by 1 June 2025 and Ladok will be used for educational planning for the first time in the HT26 admission round.

Finished projects and initiatives
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.
