How to activate students

Introduction

Does teaching exhaust you? Are doing the hard work yourself while your students are not? Then enroll for the MicroLab "How to activate students" and learn how to engage students, making learning much more effective, and teaching more relaxed. Whether you are in front of a large or small group of students. You can apply the tools in your teaching as soon as you walk out the door.

Target group and required prior knowledge

The MicroLab is designed for teachers, PhD candidates, tutors or supervisors who want to want to be more intentional about activating students. We focus on both small group- and large group activities, so whether you teach in big lecture halls or small tutorials, this MicroLab is suitable for you. No specific prior knowledge is required.   

Content, Format, and Time Investment 

In preparation for the workshop, you formulate your own challenge regarding activating students. During the interactive workshop (about 3 hours), you will exchange good practices with other teachers and the trainers will provide you with techniques you can use to make your lesson more active. After the workshop, you will have tools to tackle your challenge: you will have knowledge about the way students learn, you will be able to select a suitable activity and you will be able to guide students effectively through these activities.

Earn an Edubadge

At the conclusion of the MicroLab, you can create a Proof of Competence, showing that you will/can put the new skills learned into practice. You can receive an Edubadge, a digital visual certificate that you can share on platforms like LinkedIn, allowing interested parties to click and see what you've done to earn the Edubadge.
