Unit for Higher Education Pedagogy

The Development Unit for Higher Education Pedagogy aims to enhance the quality of teaching and learning at Södertörn University. We work with researchers and teaching staff, as well as administrative staff who want, and are able to, work on developing pedagogical quality.

The Development Unit for Higher Education Pedagogy has a range of open courses and consultative support tailored to activities. We believe that it is important that our work is needs based and conducted as an interplay of theory and practice.

Digitalisation Node

Södertörn University has had a digitalisation node since 2024. Its purpose is to support and encourage the digital development of the university’s courses and programmes. The node is tasked with strengthening the contacts between educational environments and the university’s support functions for education and digitalisation, and planning and implementing continuing education based on teacher interests and needs.

At the digitisation node, the Development Unit for Higher Education Pedagogy works with the university’s ICT educators. The node can also bring in expertise from teachers at the university or other higher education institutions to offer Södertörn’s staff training and support for digital learning. The node’s activities are always designed in dialogue with teachers and/or subject and programme environments. The Development Unit is the convener for this work, as decided by the vice-chancellor.

Themes that the node is currently working with include examination, generative AI, active learning rooms, alternative forms of examination, and remote and hybrid learning. The node also monitors digitisation issues in relation to teaching and learning in general, both at the university and in Swedish higher education.

Do you want support with issues relating to learning and digitalisation?

If you have ideas about a specific course based on the above, or want to discuss other themes related to learning and digitalisation, please contact Ingrid Forsler, the digitalisation node’s development manager: ingrid.forsler@sh.se
