-Discover the added value of innovative learning spaces for education-

A 1-day workshop designed to support lecturers who struggle with procrastinating tendencies of their students. It´s been said that all procrastination is delay, but not all delay is procrastination. It will provide you with useful information and strategies that will support you in helping students to develop the mind-set and the capacity to start and finish their projects on time!

Education systems around the world are calling for transformative change to meet the challenges of a rapidly-changing, technology-enhanced environment in the context of increasing diversity and inequality in society. However doing things in new ways requires more than the acquisition of new skills and knowledge, it also requires new mind-sets and dispositions.

The Center for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS) is organising a conference on "Enhancing quality in Higher Education" on 25 and 26 June at the University of Twente. Researchers, practitioners and professionals in higher education who are committed to improving the quality of teaching and learning are invited to join.

On 22 and 23 May 4TU.CEE is organising a lunch presentation and workshop on the theme ‘Interdisciplinary Team work Skills’.  Bjørn Sortland and Reidar Lyng of NTNU Trondheim and Hanne Løje of DTU will visit the University of Twente on the 22nd and TU Delft on the 23rd to share their experiences with interdisciplinary courses. You are most welcome to join the lunch presentation and/or the workshop.

A 2-day course designed for teaching staff at 4TU universities

During the learning spaces tour you will visit innovative learning spaces at the four universities of technology and gain insight in related ongoing innovative projects.

On November 29th 2018, the ICAB (Innovatiecentra Academisch Bètaonderwijs) Conference will take place in the Designlab on campus at the University of Twente. All 4TU staff are invited to participate.

Rapid changes in technology trigger new jobs and updated engineering study programs in many countries. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) asked Ruth Graham to survey the global state of the art in engineering education as input for their own MIT educational reform plan NEET. Results were published in Spring 2018 and will be presented by Ruth in this session together with the challenges that come with high quality programs, such as how to combine challenge based project education with rigorous attention for engineering fundamentals? In the discussion the Twente Education Model can be compared with these global trends.
