Course Didactics for Continuing Education

In addition to education for initial students, universities increasingly provide Continuing Education. This type of education brings many opportunities, but at the same time also comes with challenges for course design, supervision, and assessment. The characteristics, expectations, and (learning) needs of the professionals and the great diversity within the target group mean that this type of education requires a different approach than education for initial students.

This course supports lecturers among other things in the (further) development of Continuing Education, exchange of experiences with colleagues, and application of the learned material in practice.

Course content

The course consists of three plenary sessions and individual coaching, peer-to-peer feedback, and reciprocal exchange. Session 1 covers the vision on Continuing Education and the characteristics of Continuing Education, in session 2 we will cover the design of Continuing Education, session 3 is a review session in which the focus is on the application of the learned material in practice.
