Teachers at Aalborg University are expected to fill in and maintain their teaching portfolio in Pure. The portfolio should at the very least be updated prior to the annual appraisal interview. It must contain information starting from the autumn semester 2015 at minimum (or later if later employed).
It is entirely up to you to decide if you want to include information regarding teaching activities prior to the autumn of 2015. If you want to include previous teaching activities, it is for you to decide the level of detail when you fill in the information (e.g. whether you write “several years of experience with thesis counselling in economics” or “25 instances of thesis counselling in economics from 2010 to 2015”).
Questions regarding the teaching portfolio must be directed to the VBN Team: vbn@aub.aau.dk
