Danish term or phrase: Paedagogiske Handlemuligheder
This is within a Teacher training school website translation. It was translated as Academic Action but I was wondering whether it could be Academic Activity.

It is an entry in the schedule of classes...

Any help would be fantastic. Thanks.

~ Action Alternatives


Explanation:
Handlemuligheder could be translated as action alternatives, i.e. possible courses of action. It all depends on the context, of course.
Of the two options you provided, Action is better than Activity.

depends on context (see below)


Explanation:
Having worked as both an academic and an administrator at 2 universities, in my experience (UK), 'action' would be something that would be decided on at an academic board meeting (e.g. change to the syllabus, the way things are marked, etc.), whereas 'activity' would be the general lecturing/tutoring and things associated with that. You need a specific context in order to decide, in my opinion.
