Teaching and Learning

Uppsala University has a system management model where key-stakeholders and university IT services collaborate to guide and prioritize the right initiatives. All University IT Services and systems are divided into e-areas (digital domains).

Within the e-Area Teaching and Learning, The Unit for Academic Teaching and Learning collaborates with University IT Services. The e-Area is responsible for supporting digital teaching, managing the university’s digital teaching systems and tools, and further developing them when needed.

The e-Area Teaching and Learning also includes a working model that ensures that disciplinary domains, faculties, and departments play a central role in the developement of digital learning.
