About the course
Course content
The course deals with the arrangement of learning environment for adults and the overarching policy guidelines on lifelong learning. Students are introduced to knowledge on didactics and teaching design, participant perspectives, the adult learner and the role of the teacher. Students discuss issues related to the design of learning environments in lifelong learning by carrying out didactic analyzes in formal, informal and informal learning environments. The analyzes are based on the interaction between learning theories, characteristics in the learning environment and society's priorities (for example, based on learning environments in workplaces or formal learning environments).
