Entangled praxis
Open courses and tools for university teachers, free to use.
Courses and tools
- Designing a University Course A self-paced course in eight steps through the design of a course: what it is for, who the students are, what is fixed and what can move, and how outcomes, activities and assessment fit together. A short film opens each part, and every step ends with an activity on a course of your own.
- Open by Design Assessment in the age of generative AI: how to design take-home exams, assignments and projects that still tell you what students have learned when they can use AI. About two and a half hours, worked through on one assessment of your own. A working draft, still in development.
- AI as a Learning Partner A module for academic staff, about an hour: try a three-step metacognitive protocol with an AI tool on yourself, read what the research says, and bring the method into your teaching.
- AI and You Thinking critically in a changing world: eight steps on how artificial intelligence is changing the world, and how to question the information it produces, with websites, videos, AI tools and scientific sources. By Daniel Manzoni-de-Almeida (University of Western Brittany), Philipp Marquardt (Kiel University) and Francesco Partipilo (Parthenope University of Naples). Web version by Kaspar Bredahl Rasmussen.
- Vorkurs Atelier Plan the learning conversation before the content: an interactive guide to Diana Laurillard’s six learning types, and a storyboard for a course’s learning journey. After the Bauhaus Vorkurs and the ABC Learning Design method.
Courses 01–04 were developed for SEA-EU, the European University of the Seas, and co-funded by the European Union. More courses are in planning.
About
entangledpraxis.eu gathers open resources for teaching at university: courses you can work through on your own or use with a group, and tools for planning your teaching. They are free to use, and they draw on research on teaching and learning.
The name says how they look at teaching. Teaching is entangled: technology, methods, purposes, values and context shape each other, so none of them can be chosen on its own. The word comes from Tim Fawns’ entangled pedagogy (2022). And teaching is praxis: practice that thinks about itself, reflection and action together, as Paulo Freire and the critical tradition in education use the word. Generative AI is changing what students and teachers do, which makes both more pressing.
