| Optimising your teaching practice with the Utrecht Roadmap for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
|
| The Utrecht Roadmap for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (UR-SoTL) is a practical step-by-step plan that helps lecturers to systematically research their own teaching practices when they want to optimise them and develop themselves by gaining knowledge about their students' learning. In eight steps, you will be stimulated to think critically about the way you organise your teaching and what effect this has on your students' learning. Relevant information, tips and targeted questions will help you to transform your ideas into a practice-oriented research/evaluation in a structured way.

| Submit your teaching inquiry proposal now!

Do you want to try a possible solution to a problem in your student’s learning? Do you want to obtain more information that can help you gain insight into your student’s learning?
Taking a systematic, research-informed approach to these questions, according to the principles of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), will not only provide you with answers to these questions but will also contribute to education quality by generating context- and discipline specific, educational knowledge.
All teachers (starting and more experienced) can now apply for granting of small SoTL projects.

| Education innovation think tank started: students contribute ideas to education projects
|
| How do you involve students in education and educational innovation? Including the perspective of students in the design and innovation of education is very important. After all, education is for the student. That's why Educate-it has developed a student think tank: a training programme in which students can give input on educational innovation projects that are currently being carried out within the UU. In return, they can gain new knowledge and skills.

| From the Educational Database
|
|
|
| Still looking for teaching methods for Block 4? In the Educational Database, you will find a nice collection of teaching methods that you can filter by learning objective, educational type (blended, hybrid, online, on campus), group size, duration, etc. It is very useful for getting ideas, such as the Jig Saw activity. This is a blended work format (30-60 min) for students to explain their expert knowledge to each other and together put together the pieces of a larger puzzle.
