CED webinars on university teaching, learning, and higher education

In just one hour, you can gain a solid dose of inspiration when the CED hosts a series of webinars on university teaching, learning, and higher education. The themes range from the development of entire degree programmes and learning design to peer mentoring on pedagogical practice and the use of technology to engage students.

Each webinar focuses on a specific theme within a range of central and diverse aspects of higher education, all within just one hour.

Our webinars offer insights into practice, research, and new approaches to university teaching, learning, and higher education. The content draws on knowledge generated through the CED’s research and development projects. Each webinar addresses a specific theme and enables you to explore current questions and perspectives within that theme. The webinars are led by one or more of the CED’s experienced experts.

The webinars are open to everyone, whether or not you are employed at Aarhus University. They are delivered in English, free of charge, last just one hour, and offer concrete perspectives that you can apply directly in your work.

How to engage your students with educational technology

This webinar explores how educational technology, such as LMSs, video, and generative AI, can engage students behaviourally, cognitively, and affectively.

We will provide a brief overview of research on student engagement with educational technology, along with concrete recommendations for educators and relevant cases from Aarhus University.

The content of the webinar is based on the review article Engaging students in higher education with educational technology (Godsk & Møller, 2025).

Programme Development: Key concepts and design process

The webinar is aimed at everyone with an interest in educational development in higher education.

We will highlight programmatic perspectives on educational development and explore how a holistic approach at programme level, guided by competence- and purpose-oriented thinking, can help create degree programmes with clear academic profiles, meaningful academic progression, and strong coherence between programme elements.

Drawing on concrete experiences from the ongoing Danish Master’s reform, we also address the opportunities and challenges that may arise in processes of educational development.

How to get qualified peer feedback on teaching and supervision

Are you looking for mentoring, inspiration, and new perspectives on your teaching and supervision? In this webinar, you will learn how peer mentoring can be a simple and effective approach to developing your pedagogical practice.

We will focus on how, in a structured way, you can draw on your experience as an educator and supervisor and use it as a resource in peer mentoring with other educators, enabling you to develop and rethink your practice together.

We will explain how you can structure conversations that foster reflection and learning, use your own and others’ experience to rethink teaching, and integrate peer mentoring into everyday practice through small, manageable adjustments. The webinar is designed to enable you to continue working with initiatives in your own context afterwards. You are welcome to invite your colleagues; together you will go even further.

From teacher-led to student-centered teaching for change-making

In this webinar, we will present an innovative and adaptable pedagogical design for higher education teaching. You will be invited to reflect on who your students are and who they aspire to become, and explore how teaching design can empower students as agentic, critical thinkers working collaboratively for change.

We will also explore education as value creation, with students as co-creators and knowledge as fluid and constantly evolving. You will be given concrete suggestions for rethinking designs and curricula, along with practical tools to motivate and engage students in meaningful learning.

How student perspectives can enhance the development of higher education

In this webinar, we will explore why the development and quality assurance of degree programmes increasingly demand a broader and more nuanced understanding of students' academic experiences. Drawing on current projects that have incorporated student perspectives in various ways at programme level, we will show how qualitative insights can supplement traditional systems and provide more precise points of reference for programme development.

We will present both the opportunities and the challenges of engaging with voices that are often overlooked in formal forums, and highlight how dialogue and co-creation can reveal experiences that might otherwise remain invisible.

The webinar explores how meaningful student involvement can function as a strategic element in the development of higher education.
