PLUS - Centre for Professional Development and Learning
PLUS strengthens relevance and quality in education. PLUS creates learning environments and supports innovative development across face-to-face and online platforms to meet the changing needs of Nord University students and teachers.
Through interdisciplinary collaboration across faculties and with external stakeholders, we work to promote education adapted to students' varying life situations and needs for flexibility.
PLUS also develops and contributes to various courses related to enhancing educational and digital pedagogy competence for professional staff.
Furthermore, we offer guidance and advice to academic staff, including planning and using digital tools in teaching, supporting and helping in audio and video production, and advising in developing various educational projects.
