KiViTapeda - Cross-university pedagogical development

In my presentation, I will talk about the joint project KiViTa of the universities in the capital region, especially its 2024 projects focusing on pedagogical development (called KiViTaPeda). This project developed pedagogical guidelines to support colleagues, especially those beginning their careers, in planning and delivering quality teaching. The project also developed guidelines for Moodle workspaces for language and communication studies, gathering information from teachers and surveying students' opinions. In addition, it explored students' perceptions of the experience of participation in language and communication studies, in particular by comparing different course formats. In the past, the project has developed online courses open for students and staff of various universities, particularly at levels without provision within a single university.

More information on the KiViTa project can be found here.
