Grassroots en Grass Shoots grants 2026-2027 awarded
The winners of the Grassroots and Grass Shoots for the 2026-2027 academic year have been announced. Five (teams of) teachers and support staff have been awarded an innovation grant for the coming year for their plans to innovate their teaching.
AI plays a major role in three of the five projects. AI is used to help students practise conversation techniques and question them about statistics. But attention is also paid to AI literacy among students. The other two innovative projects focus on a tool for online collaboration and an interactive representation of the history of psychology. We wish all teams lots of succes and fun in carrying out their projects!
