Pedagogical guidance

Uniped offers pedagogical guidance to individuals, academic groups, and departments regarding questions and challenges related to teaching, supervision, course design, use of digital tools, and assessment. We can also assist at lunch meetings, faculty gatherings, and staff seminars if desired. You can contact individuals directly or via email at uniped@ipl.ntnu.no.

The service is generally free, but for larger projects, agreements must be made between UNIPED/IPL and the unit seeking guidance.
