Luuk, an educational innovator at BMS, wanted to help students better understand Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) concepts in a more engaging and accessible way. He developed several short micro-lectures, for instance on the Socratic method. These micro-lectures can be built into courses flexibly.

YJ, a teacher at BMS-PHIL, aimed to boost student engagement and improve feedback quality during assignments in her course. The BMS E-Learning Team and Yj collaborated to implement a structured peer review process with clear rubrics and guided prompts. Students began providing more meaningful, actionable feedback, leading to improved assignment quality.

Skills education and assessing academic knowledge can go hand in hand. We recently facilitated debating skills development in the IEM bachelor. By providing a minilecture on Aristotle's Rhetoric Triangle (ethos, logos, pathos) and organising a student House of Commons debate (Dutch: Lagerhuisdebat), students improved their argumentation and persuasion skills. The topics they debated on were all related to the content of the courses they followed, allowing them to showcase their understanding of the theory taught in the module.
In case you would like to facilitate skills development in your education, contact Luuk Buunk on l.g.a.buunk@utwente.nl.
Associate Professor Anna Bos-Nehles wanted a fair way to evaluate group collaboration in her HRM course. She set up Buddycheck inside Canvas, aligning its evaluation criteria with the course’s project; this led to more transparent peer feedback within teams during the project. Buddycheck helps ensure fair contribution in group work.
