The next step in preparation of your studio recording is to create a PowerPoint where bullet points, images, animations and videos go hand in hand with your storyline. The image below gives an insight in the template used at Leiden University when recording a knowledge clip in the studio.

Transferable skills are skills that students develop during their studies and can use later in a variety of work contexts.

The layout of a dissertation must meet certain requirements. Special rules also apply if the dissertation was written with others or if a commercial edition will be published.

Three Psychology students will present a poster of their thesis research on Alzheimer’s and dementia at the international conference AAIC Neuroscience Next. ‘I remind myself to recognise - without fear or shame - when I don't know something.’

When you use a screencast, you record the changes on your computer screen, and enhance this with a voice over. You can use different supporting software & hardware, like PowerPoint or a drawing tablet. In some cases this is used in combination with a webcam recording or an animation.

Animation is a fun way to explain complicated theories and concepts, in which the visual aid plays a central role and is based around a storyline. An animation can be a stand-alone video with a voice-over but can also be used as part of a talking head video or screencast.

From assessment periods and deadlines to invigilators and organising digital assessments. Everything you need to think about for planning, organising and communicating assessments.

Evaluation is an important instrument in revealing, monitoring and improving the quality of your teaching.

If you’re inspired to introduce innovations or have plans to update a course or learning pathway, the tips and starting points given here may be helpful.

Examiners are responsible for formulating grading criteria and for ensuring that assessments are graded fairly and consistently. This page presents the guidelines for using grading models, dealing with fraud and plagiarism, recording grades, and the grading time limits you need to observe.

Whatever editing programme you choose to work with, an editing project generally follows the same workflow. Below you will find more information about each step in the editing process.

Keep in mind a fellow researcher: someone who knows your area of expertise, but not necessarily as well as you do. Are your files understandable as they are, or do they need cleaning enhancement? Keep the right balance: make sure the metadata is sufficient for reuse, but do not get carried away and…

What if seriously ill patients do not want to hear their diagnosis? Does a clinician always need to provide a patient with all available information? Communication researcher Liesbeth van Vliet, medical anthropologist Annemarie Samuels and research intern Fiona Brosig will put these questions on open…

From games to scavenger hunts: museums already do all sorts of things for children. But how do children really look at art?

Could water be present in planet-forming disks before the formation of rocky planets? The James Webb Space Telescope may have found evidence for that. Webb has for the first time observed water in the inner disc around young star where at greater distance, giant planets have already formed. The research…
