| Extension of support for lecturers in hybrid education
|
| CAT and Educate-it are extending the temporary support for lecturers by providing student assistants. Because teaching will also take place in a hybrid form in the near future, lecturers can also apply for a student assistant in block 1 and 2 to support them in preparing and giving instruction in classrooms with a hybrid function. Lecturers have made good use of the temporary support, for which the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science had made extra funds available.

| Universities of applied sciences jointly develop educational qualifications for students
|
| At universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands, students are regularly deployed to provide education, for example to teach working groups. It is important to prepare these student teachers properly for their tasks, and to recognise and value their activities. That is why Dutch higher education institutions are going to cooperate in developing educational qualifications for students. This project, for which UU is the coordinator, will receive 1 million euros from OCW.

| Make a learning experience of your (online) lecture
|
| "A well-designed lecture is in the first place not a transfer of knowledge at all, but rather the art of seduction: trying to evoke something in the students, to involve them in an unknown universe.” Ruben Jacobs wrote this in his (Dutch) blog Waarom het hoorcollege niet bij het grofvuil moet worden gezet. But how is this done, seducing students to join you on an intellectual journey? Jessica Hegeman and lecturers discuss this during the interactive webinar ‘Making the online lecture a learning experience’.

| One year of Teaching Support
|
|
|
| Last year, just before the summer holidays, Teaching Support external linkwas launched: a new helpdesk where all UU lecturers of all types of education can go with their teaching questions and where all the knowledge of the partners in the Centre for Academic Teaching is bundled. Lecturers are helped by a lecturer's assistant who can help immediately or who knows exactly who can answer the question. We can now see that this helpdesk is well received by lecturers. Last year 750 questions and requests from lecturers were answered.
