The background of the projects is the Vice-Chancellor’s call for proposals for SEK two million in funding aimed at stimulating the educational development of digitised teaching, an initiative that must also be sustainable in the long term. The projects awarded funding relate to the development of web-based learning environments, where the use of digital resources and tools in teaching provide support for student learning.

The call for proposals took place in two rounds during the late summer/autumn. The projects below are those awarded funding in the second round.
Each project can receive a maximum of SEK 200,000 and must also be co-funded by relevant department(s) with the overhead cost that arises.

The assessment group consisted of representatives appointed by the Unit for Academic Teaching and Learning, in consultation with the administrative directors of the disciplinary domains, as well as the student unions.

During implementation of the project, the Unit for Academic Teaching and Learning will organise seminars for collegial exchange related to the planning, implementation and presentation of the projects. It is also possible to contact the unit’s educational developers for discussions and advice.

A written report of how the funding was used shall be submitted to the Vice-Chancellor by no later than 30 June 2021.
Unused funding shall be returned to University-wide strategic funds.
