Recruitment for the 2021 edition of the OneLearns course is now open!

The overall aim of OnE LEARNS is to increase awareness of the potential of online education and use it to increase digital health literacy and promote the global sustainability goals. We are targeting government officials and actors in the civil society organisations (such as NGOs) in Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Kenya who hold a position with a mandate to bring about change.

Celebrating the first concluded OneLearns course and kicking of the second one

No less than three ambassadors, (from the left) excellencies Nkulikiyinka of Rwanda, Kuma of Ethiopia, and Kiambuthi of Kenya visited KTH on June 16 to get the latest updates on the OneLearns course. One of the updates is that the Swedish Institute has granted us 2 MSEK for running the course again!

Emma Riese 80% seminar “Perspectives on Assessment – A Multi-Stakeholder Study in the Context of Introductory Computer Science Courses”

Emma Riese will give a seminar at 13:15-14:15, 20th of April 2021.

Assessment can aim to both judge how well the students have fulfilled the intended learning outcomes in a course, and to guide and motivate the students’ learning. Assessment can also aim at providing students with timely and useful feedback to support their learning process. How the assessment is planned and carried out can, therefore, be said to influence the students’ learning. Introductory programming courses, given to non-computer science majors, are often given to a large group of students and to be able to provide individual feedback, teaching assistants (TAs), older students, are often employed to assist the faculty in these courses. Understanding students’, TAs’, and teachers’ experiences and use of the assessment could give us insights into how to further improve these courses in order to enhance learning among the students. During this seminar, Emma will give a brief background to her research and present the results from some of the studies she conducted, where the TAs’ and students’ perspectives have been in focus. She will also present her ongoing research projects, where the teachers’ perspective is being explored. Emma will also outline her vision for her thesis and talk about how she sees the different projects related to her overall thesis aims.

Emma Riese is a PhD student at KTH, now giving her 80% seminar. Anna Eckerdal from Uppsala Computing Education Research Group (UpCERG) at Uppsala University, will act as the opponent during the seminar
