Long Distance Supervision

Description:

The focus of this learning design is to develop a sound strategy for long distance supervision (LDS) of PhD students doing laboratory-based experimental science. Most PhD students at Aarhus university will spend time in a different laboratory setting as this is strongly recommended by the Science and Technology graduate school. This learning design is developed to help make sure that the PhD students get the most out of their stay in a laboratory (host laboratory/institution) different from their home laboratory. The learning design makes use of various online tools to ensure good communication between supervisor and PhD student during the stay in the host laboratory by the student. The learning design includes the exercise of writing a scientific manuscript together while the student is located at the host institution.
