How to get started on E-learning
There is a need for the implementation of new, student activating teaching methods. This will be the main topic of this year’s Exam and teaching seminar which will be arranged on Wednesday 17.09.14 at Hotel Terminus. Remember to set aside the date now!
The medical faculties in Norway are cooperation on a national platform for e-learning resources. Harald Wiker is our contact person for the development of e-learning resources both in DIGUiB and towards the national e-learning platform. As a starting point all lecturers are encouraged to contact the IT department at brita and apply for access to the program Camtasia Relay. With this program you may create video-recordings for e-learning at your own PC. Dean of Education, Arne Tjølsen, has created a user manual (in Norwegian).
Good luck!

Alumni Days 9 and 10 May
I will use this column to strike a blow for the Alumni Days. What is alumni? The word alumni is Latin and means former pupils at a school. Alumni enterprise means to establish ties between alumni and their university
University of Bergen invites for the first time to Alumni Days Friday 9th and Saturday 10th of May. It will be an eventful weekend with academic replenishment, happy reunion and social activities at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, and the entire University.
Everyone who are studying, have studied or are employed at UoB is considered UoB alumni.
UoB Alumni is a meeting place for alumni, academic groups and students associated with the University of Bergen. The alumni portal UoB Alumni is the tool used to convey information and contact. Register as UoB alumni here.
Finally, I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Easter and hope that people charge their batteries!
