Book a free consult with an educational advisor |
Which testing format is suitable for my course? How can I more efficiently give feedback on student texts? How do I develop a course with an interdisciplinary approach? Sometimes it is nice to have someone think with you about these kinds of questions. That is why UU lecturers can ask a question about their teaching in a professional consultation with one of the educational advisors from Educational Development & Training. There are no costs, because the professional consultation is part of the Educational Resources Pool. |

News from the Teaching and Learning Collection |
This USO project seeks to strengthen reflective awareness among staff and students about the risks and possibilities of generative AI. For this, educational interventions will be set in place to discover risks and possibilities. These interventions are intended to generate a representative body of findings about the risks and possibilities of using generative AI in educational contexts, and will hopefully provide us with enough input to produce informative guidelines, instructions and strategies for generative AI use.
