Universitet upphandlar en ny lärplattform (Learning Management System, LMS). Det nya systemet ska ersätta de nuvarande centralt förvaltade systemen för undervisning: Gotlands Moodle, den nuvarande installationen av Ping Pong samt delar av Studentportalen. Anbudsinbjudan publicerades den 5 maj och sista datum för anbud var den 12 juni. Nu ska uppfyllandet av krav verifieras och användbarhetstester genomföras.

 

Det är viktigt att de aktuella lärplattformarna också testas av studenter. Därför utgår ett arvode på ca 500 kr till studenter som deltar. Vill du vara med och testa aktuella lärplattformar, kolla på informationen här. Mer information om projektet hittar du här.

Bankinstitutens arbetsgivareorganisation (BAO) och Finansförbundet har en gemensam jämställdhets- och mångfaldskommitté som arbetar med att följa och främja jämställdhets- och mångfaldsutvecklingen inom bank- och finansbranschen samt sprida kunskap om jämställdhet och mångfald. Som ett led i denna verksamhet delar kommittén årligen ut ett uppsatsstipendium om 10 000 kr.

Jämställdhets- och mångfaldskommittén har delat ut stipendiet sedan 2004. Syftet är att uppmuntra högskolestuderande som i sitt uppsatsarbete behandlar frågor om jämställdhet- och/eller mångfald ur ett för branschen intressant perspektiv. Syftet är också att sprida kunskap om jämställdhets- och mångfaldsforskning vidare i bank- och finansbranschen.

Uppsatsen kan vara skriven inom ramen för t ex företagsekonomi, genus, ledarskap, humaniora, samhällsvetenskap eller liknande. En förutsättning för att få stipendiet är att uppsatsen handlar om jämställdhet och/eller mångfald.

During the fall term of 2016, the Language Workshop at Uppsala University will offer two courses in English for international students. Both courses are primarily intended for free-mover students.* Exchange students will be accepted if there are spaces available.

Communicating in English: Academic Writing

Course aims: This course aims to provide students with basic skills of academic writing, including audience awareness, how to structure a text, and how to use secondary sources. Another important aim of the course is to make visible the often implicit and opaque rules and expectations of academic culture, including academic integrity and critical thinking.
Target group: This course is primarily intended for free-mover students,* rather than those who have come to Uppsala University through an exchange program. Students must be registered at Uppsala University in order to take the course.

There are no language prerequisites (apart from those necessary to be admitted to the university). Students who find it very difficult to understand spoken English are advised to contact the teacher before applying to the course.

Course format: This course consists of 7 meetings (1/every week or every other week, in the late afternoon/evening, 90 mins). Attendance is mandatory and students must inform the teacher of any absence in advance. Students who miss more than two meetings will not be able to complete the course.
The first meeting will be on Tuesday, Sept.6.

Teacher: Johanna McElwee, johanna.mcelwee@nordiska.uu.se

Communicating in English: Oral Proficiency

Course aims: This course aims to provide students with basic oral proficiency skills in English, with special regard to using English in an academic context. Focus will be placed on pronunciation, with practical pronunciation exercises in the language lab. The course also includes conversation and discussion exercises, and an oral presentation exercise.

Target group: This course is primarily intended for free-mover students,* rather than students who have come to Uppsala University through an exchange program. Students must be registered at Uppsala University in order to take the course.

Language prerequisites: There are no language prerequisites (apart from those necessary to be admitted to the university). Students who find it very difficult to understand spoken English are advised to contact the teacher before applying to the course.
Course format: This course consists of eight meetings, scheduled in the late afternoon/evening, 90 minutes. Attendance is mandatory and students must inform the teacher of any absence in advance. Students who miss more than two meetings will not be able to complete the course.
The first meeting will be on Sept. 5.

Teacher: Linnéa Anglemark, linnea.anglemark@nordiska.uu.se

More information about these courses and how to apply can be found on our website: http://www.sprakverkstaden.uu.se/kurser-engelska/

*A free mover is typically a student who pays tuition or whose tuition fee is covered by a grant. However, other students could be included in this group as well. Contact us if you are not sure whether you belong to this category.

Vet du att du som student, som har läst några terminer, kan vara mentor åt en student som behöver det stödet? Det är ett givande, meriterande och avlönat extra arbete!

Mentorsstöd finns för studenter med neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar eller psykiska ohälsa. En mentor hjälper till att planera och strukturera studierna. Att vara mentor kan till exempel handla om att hjälpa till att sortera och prioritera bland olika uppgifter, att tydliggöra scheman och navigera i Studentportalen, att sätta upp delmål och stämma av hur tidsplaneringen fungerar.

Arbetstiden är en timme i veckan och arvodet är 120 kr/timme (plus 12 % semesterersättning). Just nu har vi ett stort behov av mentorer som kan arbeta kommande termin.

Du som är mentor eller du som har intresse av att vara mentor erbjuds varje termin utbildningstillfällen på temat funktionsnedsättningar.

Ansök nu! Mer information samt intresseanmälan hittar du på: www.uu.se/student/karriar/mentor

Student email system will be terminated in 2016. In brief this means that all students will be required to forward their email to a private email address. E-mail can be forwarded in Student Portal via My profile > Forwarding e-mail.
The majority of students will not be affected by the change, as they are already forwarding their mail. Students who do not have a forwarding account (12 %) will be contacted by the University in good time before termination. New students will be asked to provide a forwarding address when they activate their student account.
Only the inboxes are terminated. The student address firstname.lastname123@student.uu.se will continue to exist. In other words, students will retain their address as long as they are students at Uppsala University. The advantage of this is that students will still be able to show they are associated with the university.
Work to terminate student email will start in June, with the introduction of obligatory forwarding for new students. The work will be completed on October 31, with the removal of student inboxes.
In connection with this termination, the student unions and the student nations will be offered function accounts in the Universitys email system Exchange, and existing function accounts will be migrated.

Flertalet av universitetets verksamma, studenter såväl som anställda, har nu nåtts av ett e-postmeddelande med anmodan om att skaffa ett campuskort/byta det gamla passerkortet mot ett campuskort.

Utgivningen av de nya korten har nu kommit igång vid universitetets samtliga intendenturer. Du som fått ovan nämnda e-postmeddelande  följ instruktionerna som anger hur du går tillväga för att få ditt campuskort. Meddelandet inkluderar särskilda instruktioner om vad som gäller specifikt för de som studerar på distans eller som har för avsikt att avsluta sina studier vid Uppsala universitet i och med vårterminen 2016.

Passa gärna på att hämta ut ditt kort innan höstterminens start, då belastningen på utgivningsfunktionerna kommer att vara stor. Du som ännu inte nåtts av meddelandet kan förvänta dig att du kommer att erhålla nämnda anmodan någon gång innan höstterminens start.

Som ett avslutande steg i införandet av de nya korten kommer passerkort av den gamla typen att inaktiveras. Vi räknar med att momentet med att ta de gamla korten ur drift kommer att äga rum under höstterminen 2016.

Mer information om campuskortet hittar du på

Vänligen,
Säkerhetsavdelningen vid Uppsala universitet

Från och med 1 januari 2016 ska den som flyttar alltid göra flyttanmälan direkt till Skatteverket. Idag kan medborgare göra flyttanmälan via Svensk adressändring också men vid årsskiftet löper avtalet mellan Skatteverket och Svensk adressändring ut.
Det kostar inget att göra flyttanmälan hos Skatteverket och det görs enklast med hjälp av e-legitimation (till exempel Mobilt BankID) i e-tjänsten Flyttanmälan.
Skatteverket skickar den nya adressen till de flesta myndigheter, företag och viktiga samhällsaktörer.
Svensk adressändring har kvar ansvaret för eftersändning av post. Vill man ha eftersändning beställs det för en kostnad hos Svensk adressändring.
