The LOUIS-competence framework in making learning outcomes, assignment descriptions and feedback rubrics in a university course. This course is open to PhD students and academic teaching staff, actively teaching a course/module. It is conducted in three parts: Part 1 (week of 6-10 October 2025) A half-day online session to introduce the overall aim and structure of the course, the role of participants in each part. Participants will also present the courses they intend to “work with” during the course. Part II (20-24 October 2025) A five-day week on-campus work in Reykjavik. At the end of the week the academic teachers will present their own identified link between their own course learning outcomes, their selected assignments, and the feedback rubric for that assignment. Then, within two weeks after the workshop in Reykjavík, the participants submit their paper, providing the learning outcomes, the assignment description, and the feedback rubric (all in English), according to a pre-described format. They will individually receive feedback on this paper. Part III (week of 10-14 November 2025) A half day online session where participants will present their overall learning outcomes and next steps in the development of their teaching, as well as what further support they will require to ensure said development.
