In this short blended course you will learn what type of teaching & learning activities you can use to make sure your lectures will have an impact on the students’ learning process. A lot of research has been done in the field of brain learning, in this module we will share the latest outcomes with you. For example: how to stimulate students to write effective notes during your lecture. We will also answer the question on how to structure your lecture with a variety of activities and how to implement your plan into practice. The module will be online, which consists of 3 hours online preparation assignments and an online workshop of half a day. The workshop really focusses on the idea to prepare you to try out an activity in one of your own lectures.
