We help you to develop courses and study programmes

When designing a course or an entire program of study, we recommend planning backwards to create a holistic learning design: we start with what the students should be able to do when they finish the course or program (the learning outcomes) and plan teaching activities and forms of assessment based on this. UiB learning lab has developed two open resources in Mitt UiB:

• Resources for developing courses (norwegian only, a version in English will be published in the spring of 2025)
• Development of study programmes (in Norwegian) 

The development of continuing education offers follows the same principles and procedures as for ordinary courses and study programmes. At the same time, there are a number of special considerations to be made, concerning both the design of academic content adapted to the needs and prior knowledge of the target group and the arrangement of teaching methods adapted to adult part-time students, who often live elsewhere. Therefore, developing fully or partially online teaching is central to developing new continuing education offers or updating existing offers.

UiB Videre can assist with advice on developing or updating continuing education offers. You can also familiarize yourself with procedures and deadlines that apply to continuing education offers on UiB's employee pages.

Here you can find information about how to create study programmes (in Norwegian). 

In addition to UiB's own incentive schemes, there are national and international support schemes for academic environments that have ambitions to carry out larger or smaller development projects in their study programmes.
