The winning teams of 2023-2024
For the year 2023-2024, we had not one but two winning teams. The first prize was awarded to the team led by Anouk van der Weiden, for developing a training course for students to develop critical reading and writing skills. The second prize was won by a team of teachers for implementing R in the curriculum to replace SPSS. The judges were impressed by the implementation process, as well as the impact for students. This transition is in line with developments in open science, coding requirements and programming skills. Both winning teams are part of the Institute of Psychology.
