Wednesday April 1st we spoke to Josien Boetje. Josien has been teaching Arabic online at the UCU. She showed how she integrates multiple apps in the Teams environment (including FlipGrid, EdPuzzle and Memrise). This Q&A was in English.

Thursday April 2nd, lecturer Maikel Waardenburg (USBO, faculty REBO) shared his experience on podcasts as an alternative work or test form, based on recent experience from a faculty USO project.

Lorena de Vita, assistant professor History of International Relations, was our guest. We discussed how she has guided her students in their essay-writing assignments these past weeks.

Casper Hulshof (Social and Behavioural Sciences) shared his experience with take-home exams. We also discussed the administrative and practical challenges in remote teaching and examination.

Herbert Hoijtink, Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, will tell us how he, with very limited prior knowledge of Microsoft Teams, has made his teaching available online fully through Teams. Furthermure, Herbert makes video clips in which he answers questions that students have. He also facilitates group work in Teams.

Assistant professor Jasper van Vught (Humanities) will tell us about his first-year course New Media. The lectures were recorded in OBS, the seminars took place in Teams, student practiced their exams using Feedbackfruits and the exam itself was digital too.

Frans Stafleu (veterinarian who teaches ethics at the Faculty of Humanities) is a lecturer who considers interaction with his students important and greatly values the social aspect of education. He sticks with the existing lectures and will talk about the small groups he has set up (duos versus foursomes), his 'social space' and the testing of technology.

We will be joined by colleagues from Educational Consultancy & Professional Development and Skills Lab, to tell us how students are currently being supported. Are students managing well? What kind of questions do they ask?

Stef Dingemans is involved in different forms of teaching. We will talk to him about accommodating online seminars, structuring his lectures and supervising individual assignments.

Thursday 19 March, Sanne Frequin was the first teacher to join us. She is a PhD student, a researcher in media and a lecturer in art history. On Wednesday 18 March she lectured a group of 30 students through Microsoft Teams. She didn't know beforehand if it was going to work, and shared her findings with us. 

Friday 20 March Leonie Heres told us how the last week was for her and what she has been up to, has learned and seen. Leonie is an assistant professor at the faculty of Law, Economics and Governance. 

On Tuesday 24 March the Q&A featured Bert le Bruyn, French Language and Culture.  The teaching team of this course already gained some experience with Microsoft Teams in different settings. Their approach is to connect as much as possible to our 'standard' education and that seemed to work out quite well.

Woensdag 25 maart ontvingen we Hetty Boleij, docent bij Diergeneeskunde. Hetty heeft afgelopen week een werkcollegeopdracht omgezet naar Pitch2Peer en vertelde hierover.

Thursday March 26th Willem Janssen was our guest. He runs a master course with 20 students. Willem shared his experiences with online education and the necessary fine-tuning with colleagues and guest lecturers (recording unfortunately not available). 

Friday 27 March we welcomed Rianne van Lambalgen, lecturer in Liberal Arts and Sciences at the Faculty of Humanities. Rianne is currently providing a bachelor course that has gone online. She has a background in cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence and educational sciences. She is currently researching the effects of online education - there was enough to share.

Monday 30 March João Trabucho Alexandre was our guest. He teaches earth sciences at the Faculty of Geosciences and shared his experiences with online education in recent weeks and before. He guides students in Peergrade in doing literature research, writing essays and giving peer feedback. His students now also have to give poster presentations remotely: how does that work?

On Tuesday 31 March Kristin Denzer (UMCU) was our guest. She explained her experiences with interactive lectures for 170 students. To use Teams within the UMC 20 teachers had to be trained within two days. Kristin focussed on MS Teams, various forms of education (IC, WG, Question Time) and the necessary support.
