Blended Learning is a combination of face-to-face and online learning. In Blended Learning we look at how ICT applications can be used alongside traditional teaching methods to stimulate students to engage more actively with the learning materials. This may require students to work individually or in…

Didactics

Small, large or even massive online courses from universities all over the world, for free, or in some cases a fee. That is what we call MOOCs (massive open online courses) on worldwide platforms, or SPOCs (small private online courses) in a more closed setting where the learner is invited.

Didactics

Holograms that help you learn, flexible learning spaces and electronic learning materials that adapt to your personal level. The ICT & Education (ICTE) Innovation Programme is exploring and experimenting with innovative teaching methods.

We are currently running ICT & Education (ICTE) projects both at faculty and at University level. Many of the University-wide projects fall under the ICTE programme. With the ICTE programme we seek interactive ways of using technology to strengthen the quality of our teaching.

The University does everything in its power to continuously increase the professionality of its teaching staff. Two of the ways we do this are via the BKO and SKO programmes, but we also offer other workshops and training programmes on teaching and ICT.

In addition to web lectures you can also create short knowledge clips, podcasts, vodcasts, and other audio-visual productions. You can even stream a lecture live.

Some faculties offer studios and/or video workplaces that allow you to use PCs with advanced audio, video or video editing software.

Students learn not only from you, but often also from each other. They do so through analysing each other’s texts, discussions, assessing each other’s work, or completing group assignments. There are various tools available that support this kind of collaborative learning.

Welcome to the website for teachers of the faculty of Humanities. Keep an eye on this page for updates on teaching at the FoH. In the menu on the left you will find information and tips regarding the development and/or improvement of your (online) education.
