About the event
The theme for this autumns’s event in the EducateXAcademicTeachership series is instructions and examinations, with a special focus on AI. The event is held in special collaboration with the Disciplinary and Expulsion Board at JU, to inspire, find new ways of working, and share knowledge.
Tomas Müllern, Professor of Business Administration at JIBS, will dissect an online course with challenges that have high recognition value for most teachers or examiners. The tasks and assessment components in the course are clearly defined, well-bounded, and linked.
But how can we work to prevent students from replacing their efforts in designed learning activities with AI tools? How do instructions contribute to good examinations? The course dissection is an analysis of a successful course, inspired by the "Course Anatomy Session" format at JIBS. The analysis is part of academic teachership. After the course analysis, you're invited to follow a panel discussion, where we’ll get nuanced perspectives on the theme. Together with Tomas Müllern, we’ll dive deeper with Agneta Stenebrand, Director of Education at HHJ, Roger Sandberg, Secretary of DAN, and Carl Johan Odehammar, pedagogical developer at Educate.
The event also includes a microlecture on academic teachership, a method where university teachers continuously and systematically reflect on, investigate, and develop their pedagogical methods to improve student learning. This time, the focus is on instructions and examinations. Academic Teachership is closely related to the broader concept of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL), which includes systematic efforts to improve teaching and learning and is often used synonymously with Academic Teachership in various contexts. Both emphasize the importance of research, reflection, and development in pedagogical practices.

The event is inspired by the format of TEDx events, ensuring that it will be both informative and engaging. As we dive into academic teachership, we aim to provide teachers with the opportunity to solve pedagogical challenges, promote collegial learning and co-creation, and expand their pedagogical repertoire to facilitate lifelong learning.
