Whether it's learning whilst playing or learning by playing a game, Game-based learning is becoming increasingly common in higher education. Suppose you have decided to use a game element or game in your education, how would you organise this and what effect does it have on the physical learning environment? During the meeting of the SIG Learning Spaces - Co-Creation Community on Thursday 1 June (12.00-13.30), we will discuss this with each other using examples from experienced colleagues. We might even come up with an idea for a new Future Learning Space. Please join us for this session in the Bucheliuszaal 6.18 in the University Library at the Utrecht Science Park!
Register via fls@uu.nl and we will provide lunch (please indicate your dietary requirements immediately)

| Call for proposals – Artificial intelligence in education
|
| In recent months, the application of artificial intelligence in education has taken off, especially chatbots such as ChatGPT. Utrecht University believes it is important to explore how this technology can and should relate to UU education and is making funds available from the USO fund to explore this in a cross-faculty project. Do you have ideas for such a project? Please submit a proposal.

Getting started with e-modules in your teaching
An e-module is a way of providing learning material online. Typically, the learning material is presented in an attractive, varied way, for example by using videos, photos and illustrations in addition to text. Would you also like to get started with e-modules in your teaching? Then come to the workshop on 15 June. You will see examples of e-modules, we will help you with the steps to develop an e-module and give didactic tips. We will also focus on the tools available for this purpose at UU, such as ULearning and Xerte. Or read how lecturer Liesbeth Bijlsma used Xerte in preparation for an in-depth tutorial using e-modules.

Interfaculty projects that innovate and improve education are made possible annually by the Utrecht Education Incentive Fund (USO).

| Tool guide part of Teaching and Learning Collection
|
|
From now on, the Educate-it tool guide is part of the Teaching and Learning Collection (T&LC), the CAT's education knowledge base. This allows you to link directly from a teaching tool to relevant teaching methods, educational innovation projects and knowledge items in the T&LC and vice versa. This way, teachers can find all information together. Each tool is accompanied by a short description, how to get started, manuals and tips on how to use the tool and which teaching methods suit it best. Many tools also include user experiences of other teachers and relevant research data.

| Together through the swampy lowlands; this is how you keep your students motivated during interdisciplinary education and CEL
|
|
Interdisciplinary education and community engaged learning (CEL) offer students a significant challenge. Consequently, these forms of education often show a dip in motivation. Judith Loopers (Educational Development & Training) describes this process using the self-determination theory and gives tips on how to guide your students through these swampy lowlands.

| News from the teaching community TAUU
|

|
A fresh look for T@UU
The Teaching Academy Utrecht University (TAUU) was founded as a community for all teachers at UU where issues and concerns could be brought to light in a bottom-up manner. Since our focus does not lie on forming an academy for our teachers, but more on community building, we felt a name change was in order. As a result, TAUU now stands for Teaching At Utrecht University (T@UU), to better reflect our main focus: listening to and articulating the interests of all UU teachers, with the aim of strengthening our educational environment.

Information-rich feedback questions
When it comes to feedback in education, much attention is often paid to how to give good feedback and what the characteristics of an effective feedback message are. However, feedback is only effective if the receiver actually wants to, can and will do something with it. We do not want passive feedback recipients, but active feedback users. Read more about effective feedback in this knowledge item written by Renske de Kleijn. Renske will also give the keynote on feedback at the upcoming Teaching and Learning Inspiration Days, be sure to join us there!
