The outcomes of the 'Blend-it & Share it' call (2023) were unveiled at a poster market last December. Subsequently, a second call, 'Innovate & Share-it,' was launched in the EEMCS department last summer, seeking inspired proposals from teachers aligned with the UT vision on Learning and Teaching (2024).
Following the call, we’ve received multiple diverse, extensive proposals from EEMCS teachers and teams of teachers to work on innovating their courses. We are happy to share that we’ve been able to grant funds to 15 projects that will start at varying points in 2024. These projects range from the impact of ChatGTP and CoPilot, applying blended learning activities in a project-based master course for students with different backgrounds, the use of peer and self-assessment to evaluate the performance of members of a project group and the design and implementation of automatically created individual exercises at different levels.
The approved projects are as follows:

Each of the projects has been connected to one of the educational specialists or educational specialists that we have at EEMCS for support as well. At the end of this year, we hope to bring you more news about how these projects are running and how their results change the education they are implemented.
