Learning Center
The Learning Center is BI Norwegian Business School's resource center for teaching, learning and ICT.
Educational competence
The Learning Center supports pedagogical development in a manner of ways. Educational competence is now required to teach in higher education as a means to strengthen quality of teaching and learning. We help our faculty organize, document, and achieve this.
Our basic pedagogy course, Foundations of Teaching and Learning, is a 200-hour course that meets the national requirements for educational competence. This course is offered for new employees at BI, established lecturers working towards promotion, or those looking to grow pedagogically.
For employees with previous pedagogical background we provide consultation and an option of single modules to help meet these requirements.
BI employees can contact us through: help.bi.no
You can read more about the national guidelines for basic pedagogical competence. (only in Norwegian)
Single modules
We offer single modules that can be combined into "educational competence" (utdanningsfaglig kompetanse). To combine modules, you need to contact the Learning Centre first for guidance.
Pedagogical development
You don't have to be new at teaching at BI to develop further as a lecturer. There are several possibilities for further development.
