Basic teaching module course for employees at KHiO, academic year 2022-2023

Program for developing basic teaching competencies is a module based, flexible course within teaching and learning in higher education for employees at KHiO and the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.

The course aims to secure the educational competence for educators at KHiO which has become a mandatory requirement for working in educational positions. The course’s framework encompasses 5 basic modules and 3 additional supplementary higher-level modules. Basic module 1 and 2 (60 + 60 hours) are mandatory and need to be passed prior to choosing and attending any of the additional, optional modules (40 + 40 hours). Especially employees that wish to gain the level of professor or a status as merited educator are advised to take the latter optional and higher-level modules.
