About the event
The theme for this autumn’s event in the EducateXAcademicTeachership series is all about AI with a specific focal point: a panel discussion about keeping both the human and humanity. We will briefly present new guides from Educate, but mainly the discussion is about the “could I” and “should I” of using AI tools. We’re talking security vs. opportunity and function vs. affordance – what can the tools do, and how are they useful to me?
The event also includes a microlecture on academic teachership, a method where university teachers continuously and systematically reflect on, investigate, and develop their pedagogical methods to improve student learning. During this very short micro lecture, we will discuss AI-literacy in a professional development context.
Invitation
We would like to invite all colleagues to an inspiring and enlightening event we call Educate✕AcademicTeachership. It is organized by the Educator Centre for Academic Teaching and Learning (EDUCATE) at Jönköping University. We hope to offer a thought-provoking journey into academic teaching and innovative pedagogical methods.

The event is inspired by the format of TEDx events, ensuring that it will be both informative and engaging. As we dive into academic teachership, we aim to provide teachers with the opportunity to solve pedagogical challenges, promote collegial learning and co-creation, and expand their pedagogical repertoire to facilitate lifelong learning.
