Herfstfestival 2021

Op vrijdag 12 november vindt het jaarlijkse Herfstfestival plaats, dit maal met het thema “het onderwijs van morgen“. Het festival zal bestaan uit een serie parallel-workshops in verschillende ruimtes op het Utrecht Science Park. Volledig volgens thema zal een groot deel van deze workshops ook online te volgen zijn.

Rond 12 uur zullen we de middag openen met een hapje en en drankje, waarna Danial Hasan onze keynote spreker Arthur Bakker zal interviewen over zijn onderzoek naar de toekomst van het onderwijs. Na de keynote en Q&A sessie zijn er verschillende workshops te volgen, waarvan er al een twee bekend zijn.

Lessen van de pandemie

Ralph Meulenbroeks (UU), keynote spreker vorige editie

As the global COVID-19 pandemic forced education to go into a state of emergency online education in early 2020, academic discourse quickly came to focus on the new situation and what could be learned from it in order to improve education. The present presentation gives an overview of the discourse on, mainly higher, education during the pandemic in publications that appeared in the top-50 journals on the Clarivate Education list in the period April 2020-May 2021. Five main themes were identified: affect, teaching practice, teaching context, achievement and assessment, and equity.

Hybride Leren: Grote Hype of Grote Help?

Jasper van Winden (UU) en Barend Last (UM)

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in some far reaching developments in teaching and learning. Maybe one of the most concrete and conspicuous is the hybrid classroom, which enable students to follow classes from home or on campus. While the most serious consequences of the pandemic will wear off over time, the hybrid classroom might be here to stay. This brings a new color to our palette of choices for educational design that requires further exploration. What are the risks and opportunities of hybrid teaching and learning after COVID? Is active and equivalent learning possible in a hybrid setting? How can thoughtful design of the learning space and hybrid facilities improve the learning experience for both students on campus and from home?

Barend Last from Maastricht University and Jasper van Winden from Utrecht University will shed their light on these questions and more during an interactive workshop from the Hybrid Active Learning Classroom at Utrecht Science Park.
