Call for presenters
We are looking for teachers who are eager to share their ‘best practices’ with other teachers during a 15 min lecture or 45 min interactive session. During this session you can, for example, share your course set-up, a solution to a general problem or an improvement you made.
The presentation should at least include:
- The learning goals of the course, preferably including links to learning activities/assignments.
- Information on the study-program (year, # students, length, etc.)
- An overview of the course set-up, including laboratory instruction style / level of independence (e.g. guided, problem-based, discovery, inquiry-based).
- One or more learning activities with a focus on how they are organized, which steps are involved.
- What are strong points and do you have ideas for further improvements?
- Preferably, insight into the student view.
