Grassroots en Grass Shoots grants 2025-2026 awarded
The winners of the Grassroots and Grass Shoots 2025-2026 have been announced. Seven (teams of) FSW lecturers will receive grants to innovate their teaching in the coming acadamic year.
This year's projects are very diverse in nature: from e-learning modules to chatbots and from online collaboration to vodcasts. The AI chatbot plays an important role in two projects: as a means to make students aware of the possibilities and limitations of AI, but also as a tool to test students on new skills. Podcasts are here to stay, returning in this round as a form of testing but especially as a way to share knowledge and personal experiences.
