This is the course for you.Thu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0200<h3>Postgraduate supervision in practice, Spring 2027</h3><p>As a research supervisor, you need to find ways of working that are both effective and individually tailored to the students' needs. The course provides a time and place to discuss and reflect on the role of supervisor together with other supervisory colleagues. Sharing experience across the borders of faculty and discipline provides wider perspectives, stimulates innovation and strengthens your identity as a supervisor.</p><p>This course is aimed at both new and experienced supervisors. A requirement is that you have defended your dissertation before the course begins. Selection of participants is carried out by each faculty.</p><p><strong>Quotes from previous participants:</strong></p><p><em>"Meeting colleagues from other departments - Provides perspectives and exchange of ideas"</em></p><p><em>"The supervisor dialog in small groups - to talk about problems and see that they are universal"</em></p><p><strong>Last day to register is Oct 15.

The problem with instructions is rarely a lack of information — more often, it is the opposite. When overloaded, students struggle to identify what is important.</p><p>By analysing your own course communication using established frameworks, you will gain insights into how to reduce cognitive overload and structure instructions in a way that helps students focus and plan. The goal is for you to leave the workshop with concrete strategies to improve your course instructions — thereby increasing clarity in both communication and learning.</p><p><strong><a href="https://umu-upl.eduportal.se/kurs/586419/event">Registration workshop</a></strong></p><h3>Communication for learning</h3><p>The workshop is part of the course <a href="/link/468ae00cbfb14ed48368b313e9ba5c02.aspx">Communication for learning</a> but is open for everyone to attend.</p>Läraren, UPLWorkshophttps://www.umu.se/en/events/kom-workshop-information-or-exformation_12173884/2027-06-02T13:00:00+02:002027-06-02T16:30:00+02:00
