Absalon for Course Leaders

University of Copenhagen’s Learning Management System (LMS), Absalon, offers much more opportunities than providing easy access to course materials. In this workshop we will introduce you to best structure your course to support the curriculum and how to create activating learning activities that will motivate students to be active before and after classroom teaching.

The main part of the workshop is hands-on exercises and you will work on structuring your course in modules, being an online facilitator, connecting and creating teaching activities such as quizzes and discussion fora.
