About the EILIN Learning Network
EILIN supports educators with both small and large development projects. Our services are closely connected to the academic disciplines and support the sharing of experience, skills development and pedagogical development at the Faculty of Social Sciences. We also provide support and guidance on the use of technology in education.
Objectives
EILIN is a strategic resource and driving force for educational quality at the Faculty of Social Sciences. The network has four main objectives:
- Pedagogical expertise: EILIN promotes innovative, student-active learning methods that integrate physical and digital learning environments. We provide research-based resources and support the development of staff’s pedagogical and digital skills.
- Technical expertise and support: EILIN contributes to up-to-date IT and AV infrastructure. We offer expertise in learning technology, as well as support and training in the pedagogical use of IT and AV equipment.
- Support for educational development: EILIN supports educational development through guidance, incentive schemes and by making use of resources across the University of Oslo.
- Coordination and collaboration: EILIN builds communities for sharing experience and collaborating on education. We also help drive new initiatives. No member of teaching staff should feel that they are working alone.
