1. Registration of teaching activities in Pure
Frederik V. Christiansen, Department of Science Education, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Sidse Louise Schelde, Roskilde University Library, Denmark
Anne Lyhne Høj, Aalborg University Library, Denmark

2. Agenda The need for showcasing teaching
Proposal of national committee’s work (to the educational council of Universities Denmark)
Recommendations on how Pure can accommodate the need
Future development

3. Three out of four academics in Denmark spend around 50% of their time on teaching and teaching activities.
Teaching load approximate. Data from 3rd quarter 2016

4. Status of teaching is a recognized quality issue
Data from the report “Høje Mål” by The Expert Committee on Quality in Higher Education in Denmark.

5. The role of teaching: A case of “hemispatial neglect”

6. Why is registration in PURE a desirable option?
The universities do not have a system for registering and showcasing teaching activities
Academics are familiar with PURE (most use it already)
All Danish Universities use the system already (transfer of data)
Common platform for academic reporting – may be used in personal development review
Possible to showcase teaching on universities’ portals

7. Proposal by national committee – main categories
Teaching experience/activities
Supervision of students
Assessment / Examinations
Educational development and administrative tasks
Knowledge dissemination
Participation in teacher development courses
Educational development work
Recommendation: Registration should be a possibility and recommendation, not a requirement.

8. Recommendations based on Pure
Use of existing modules in Pure:
Courses
Activities
Publications
Personal profile
Courses module is available from update 5.6 or 4.25
The new activitty module is available from update 5.7

9. Courses – the template Very simple template
You cannot relate anything to courses, e.g. publications

10. Courses Primarily to showcase if you have developed a course
Recommend registration of courses at a general level – not single lessons/guest lectures
Guest lectures should be registered under Talks and presentations
Courses could be used for registration of Supervision – but only at a general level
In Denmark supervision is considered the same as teaching.
Courses is only internal

11. Course level
Use the field ”Course level” to distinguish between Bachelors, Masters, ph.d, Professional bachelors etc.

12. Format
Use the field ”Format” to distinguish between Seminar, Workshop, Supervision, Simulation etc.

13. Occurrences
Under ”Occurrences” you can register Semester, Year and Lecturer(s)
You can register several ”Occurrences”
Claim functionality – Lecturers

14. Role
Use the field ”Role” to distinguish between Lecturer, Assistant, Teacher, Supervisor etc.

15. Activities Internal/external examination
Use new templates for Examination – Internal examination and External examination
Participation in formal teacher development courses
Use template for Attending an event – register the different courses
Educational development and administrative tasks (e.g. head of study)
Use template for Memberships – register study board/school as external organisation

16. Personal profile

17. Publications Use existing templates that can be defined as Education:
Book, Report, Anthology, Compendium/lecture notes
Book chapter, Compendium/lecture notes chapter
Net publications
Non-text contributions:
Computer programme, Dataset,
Interactive production,
Sound/Visual production (digital),
2D/3D (physical products

18. Future development
Academic Activity Reporting – customized to show teaching activities
Relate publications etc. to courses
Add external persons to courses - ”developed by”
Synchronization with existing educational structure in Pure
Synchronization with course administration system
Tagging of activities as Academic Activity-related
Transfer of data from Activities and Courses from one Pure installation to another
PhD Supervision
Showcasing teaching activities alongside research activities in university portals

19. Academic profile Research profile Teaching profile
