Challenge-based learning (CBL) in BMS education (15:00-16:30h)

However, designing a module or course based on CBL design principles while considering constructive alignment and assessment is more difficult. This is why we will discuss in this session questions such as what you need to prepare for a CBL course/module. How to combine content and process? What do you need to know to teach such a course? What could go wrong?, and how to assess CBL in courses/modules?

Guided by expert mentors ("Jedi's"), teams will develop AI solutions and present them to a jury on June 14, 2024, who will then select a winner.

Every staff member plays a crucial role, even those without direct student contact. Through the dynamic Serious Student Experience Game, you can playfully learn about our students' lives, understand their needs, and see how your work can impact a consistent UT experience. We warmly invite you to take on the challenge and inspire yourself or your team to impact a consistent UT experience for our students!

Workshop: Dealing with free-riding students (14:00-15:00h)
Group assignments are characteristic of UT education and can help prepare students for the collaborative demands of the professional world. However, freeriding behaviour within groups can impede the learning experience and undermine both its outcomes and student satisfaction. In this workshop, we would like to discuss the impact of freeriding on students as well as related challenges for teachers and share best practices on how to prevent this phenomenon.

This year’s theme is “Going The Extra Mile”. Whether that is something you physically do that week or something you’ve been doing all year already: this is the week to celebrate that! And for that reason, we’ve been aligning various awards and symposia to happen this week. Think of for instance the Teacher of the Year or the Brinksma Innovation Grant, or even the awarding of the SUTQ/SUEQ trajectories.
One could even get hands-on in thinking about the future of education in the hackathon AI, organised by the University of Twente in collaboration with AID-E network, CELT, LISA, Pre-U, Pro-U, TELT, vakgroep CODE & vakgroep ELAN.
Stay tuned!
