Digital Education Utopia?

Nanna Berg Auditoriet, (9A.1.01)

Professor Siân Bayne, Director for the Centre for Research in Education at the University of Edinburgh.

This talk will consider the futures of digital education – and of universities themselves – in the context of rapid technological, social and climate change. What challenges will we face over the coming years? What versions of the future do we want to make possible? Using research from the Centre for Research in Digital Education at Edinburgh University, the talk will combine research, world-building, and the scholarship of utopia in a call for universities to keep open the space for imagining desirable futures.

Your friendly neighborhood chatbot: Using ChatGPT in university teaching

Nanna Berg Auditoriet (9A.1.01)

Mark Friis Hau, FAOS - Employment Relations Research Centre, Faculty of Social Sciences (SAMF).

How can LLMs and ChatGPT foster innovative student engagements with theory and academic material? This presentation delves into strategies to leverage generative AI to enhance learning and student participation both inside and outside the classroom. Learn more about how ChatGPT can boost students' digital skills, make learning (more) fun - and perhaps even reduce lecturer preparation time in the process. The presentation features empirical examples that offer a roadmap for the practical integration of ChatGPT into university teaching.

Study: Virtual case-based clinical teaching

Room 4A.1.46

Mette Schjærff & Anne Marie Fog Sandal, Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (SUND)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual case-based clinical teaching for veterinary students in enhancing their clinical reasoning skills. Clinical reasoning is crucial for diagnosing and making decisions for patients, but many students struggle to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world clinical situations. Virtual case-based teaching simulates clinical cases, allowing students to actively engage and make decisions, bridging the gap between theory and practice. The study will involve 35 students using online cases, followed by oral presentations and feedback. The expected outcome is improved diagnostic reasoning and decision-making skills before students enter clinical rotations.

Use of a virtual environment to teach brewing technology

Room 4A.1.60

Kim Lou Johansen, Department of Food Science & Rasmus Fløe Mølbak, IT Learning Center, Faculty of Science (SCIENCE).

In this small workshop we will discuss the reason for creating the Virtual Brewery and which issues it solves. Each Participant will get access to the Brewery And will get a Group of Issues to solve with the use of the Breweryl 

In the Brewery, students can move between the different departments and watch animations and videos of the relevant equipment and technologies That is used in industrial Breweries. We will give examples of other places one could use similar solutions.

ChatGPT as an innovative tool for generating MCQ questions for medical students

Room 4A.1.60

Martin Kongsbak-Wismann & Jan Pravsgaard, Dept. of Immunology and Microbiology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (SUND).

Jan and Martin have adopted ChatGPT as an innovative tool for generating multiple choice questions in immunology for medical students (5th semester).

They will share their approach and illustrate the relative small effort it took to get a good draft to work with. Furthermore, while the AI offers to quickly generate a diverse range of rigorous questions, they have also identified areas where ChatGPT falls short.

Eager to provide insights, they emphasize the opportunities for other educators, but also to approach the technology with a discerning eye, ensuring that its outputs align with academic standards and course objectives.

Kira Tendal & Marian Ørgaard, Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science (SCIENCE).

ActionBound: a simple yet versatile app that works as a digital teacher's aide, to Create interactive, location-based scavenger hunts, we will talk about the idea behind the Actionbounds, student feedback and the future possibilities.

We will allow the participants to try out a small part of our brand new “På Jagt i haven” introduction to Landbohøjskolehaven for first year students. We will give perspectives to how other teachers can use similar solutions aswell

A flipped learning exercise: Comparative Anatomy – from Experimental Animal to Human

Nanna Berg Auditoriet (9A.1.01)

Anna Mathia Klawonn, Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (SUND).

In the flipped learning exercise ‘Comparative Anatomy – from Experimental Animal to Human’, 3rd semester Pharmacy students are having their first introduction to anatomy.

Students have to watch a short movie on dissection of a rat, with comparison to human anatomy, and use the information from the movie for an ‘Organ-system treasure hunt’ at the human anatomy hall. The students have to upload examples and descriptions of the human organs and primary functions in Padlet.

Subsequently, each group is selected to present an organ to the class.

Setting up a digital solution for large scale teaching in molecular/microbiological laboratories.

Room 15A.1.11

Lukasz Krych, Department of Food Science, Faculty of Science (SCIENCE).

Why is it a problem teaching molecular biology and microbiology in large laboratories. ? We will present the issues and how we solved them with digital solution facilitating live streaming of details during laboratory exercises across multiple laboratories.
We have established a real-time displaying system consisting of TVs and broadcasting system to live-stream details from the lab bench during laboratory exercises.
We will go in depth with the setup and the first student reactions. Presenting a demo video from the first PhD course that used the digital setup and a student survey.

Auto-generation of multiple question variations in e-learning 

Room 4A.1.60

Theresia Veronika Rampisela, Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science (SCIENCE).

In creating self-learning or take-home exercises for students to practice applying calculation, computation, or logical procedures, we may need to prepare a set of similar questions with different numbers. This strategy offers variation in the questions and sparks discussions as students try to solve distinct questions. Yet, manually generating and grading multiple types of questions is tedious.

Through this talk, discover examples of auto-generated variations of questions using the e-learning platform Moodle and explore together how this tool may suit your course needs! The examples are primarily related to math and data science, but are generally applicable to STEM subjects.

The talk is based on educational activities at a non-Danish higher education institution.

What can Danish and German student learn from each other, a case study og german danish-students and danish german students

Room 4A.1.60

Lars Behnke & Rasmus Erik Voel Jensen, Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies, Faculty of Humanities (HUM) 

The purpose of this project is to develop a quiz app that presents unique statements from both German and Danish citizens on selected topics within everyday culture. This will help enhance intercultural understanding, translation skills, communication abilities, and media literacy in modern language education.

The project can also serve as an inspiration for meaningful foreign language instruction and knowledge dissemination. As part of my presentation, I will guide the participants through the quiz section of the app.

EdTech to support students´ language learning - A resource bank

Room 4A.1.46

Annika Schimpff & Petra Daryai-Hansen, Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies, Faculty of Humanities (HUM).

Is ChatGPT a suitable tool to practice and improve your foreign language skills? In an attempt to answer this question, we decided to include ChatGPT resources as part of a resource bank we created for French and German BA students at our department. We will briefly present initial feedback from our students and then try out the different ways that ChatGPT can be used for reading, writing, speaking and listening in our foreign languages. Please bring your laptop to the workshop. We are looking forward to share some exercises with you and to hear your feedback.
