The significance of videorecording for learning - from the students' perspective, Are we teachers prioritizing the right things? A webinar on how students use video as learning material
The use of video materials in teaching has multiplied in the last two years, and teachers spend a lot of time and energy creating educational videos.
At this seminar, we will present our study on students' handling of video material in teaching, where a central question is whether teachers spend time on the right things when designing video and other digital material. We share experiences around the design of digital courses and learning activities and mainly how video material can support students' learning in a sustainable and inclusive way.
In the spring of 2022, Baharak Ronquist Djajarmizadeh, Kamilla Andersson and Linda Barman within Digital Course Development at KTH conducted a study that consisted of interviews with 13 students. The result shows interesting aspects of a new type of study technology as a consequence of today's online teaching.

Pedagogical pace in hybrid, campus-based and online teaching
The starting point for the seminar is a study of pedagogical pace in the digital classrooms in university Spanish courses that arose in connection with the sudden transition to digital teaching with Covid-19. Österberg and Pino (2020) stated that pedagogical pacing was realized in different ways and to a high degree.
The current study examines how language teachers at university level in teacher education use pedagogical pacing in the teacher-student relationship (Aspelin, 2018; Ibarra Rosales, 2017; Jons, 2016; van Manen, 1991) both in campus-based, hybrid and virtual teaching contexts.
• How can a pedagogical atmosphere be created in the three different teaching contexts? Is pedagogical pacing important in a digital classroom? What differences are there?
• Does the use of pedagogical pacing change after returning to campus post-Covid-19? How is pedagogical pace used in hybrid teaching?

Emotions matter – what students find emotionally challenging in teaching and learning situations
Learning and emotions are intimately interconnected. Both positive and negative emotions influence what and how students learn. Student may experience situations during their education that are emotionally challenging and that evoke strong negative feelings. During this seminar, recent research findings from a narrative research review focusing on emotional challenges in teaching related situations will be presented and discussed.

A Framework to Reflect on Teachers and Students as Role Models for Students
Virginia Grande is finishing their PhD on role models in computing and engineering education. The main outcome of this work is a framework that supports reflections on role modeling. In particular, it scaffolds educators’ analysis of how they can be and are role models for their students (whether we want to, are aware of it or not!). Educators can then apply this to their own disciplines and contexts, discuss with colleagues, and guide their students in similar reflections. In this seminar we will discuss the importance of role modeling in education and how we as educators can think of our own role in this phenomenon.
Virginia Grande (they/them), PhD candidate at UpCERG, Uppsala University
