Hello from Christina!

Hi everyone.

So nice to be a part of this course, and I look forward to create a lot of new experience and new contacts.

I will start my blog by telling you a bit about me: My name is Christina, I am a senior lecturer in medical sciences at Karlstad University. My work profession is biomedical science, and I have a PhD in biomedical sciences from KAU (2013). I have been working here at KAU since spring 2019, before that I was working at the central hospital in Karlstad, at the department of clinical chemistry. Mostly with cancer diagnostics, but also with male fertility investigations.

I mostly teach anatomy and physiology which means the appearance and functions of the human body. My students are mostly nursing students but I also teach future sports teachers and sport coaches. I also teach independent courses and participate in commissioned education for assistive device technicians. Besides this I also work for the faculty office as an educational coordinator.

Before Covid-19, most of my teaching was campus-based, besides one independent course that were online-based. Since March- 20 (as for all of us I guess) most of my work happens online. My experience in distance education is based on the platform Canvas, and using Zoom for meetings and lecture recordings. Attending this course I look forward to expand my knowledge about online teaching and learning, both theoretical and in practise.

Best regards //Christina
