In this interactive workshop Monika Rummler of TU Berlin  will share a challenge-based model of teaching and learning of staff with “teaching change agents”. The challenge-based model specifically focuses on the daily challenges teachers face in their work. Challenges that cannot be addressed immediately, but need addressing immediately. Challenges for whom no-one is available on the spot, but your peer next door who is also swamped in his/her research activities.

At TU Berlin bachelor studies include lectures with a massive number of students between 500 and 1500 students attending. In what way is it possible to keep these masses engaged, on task and making the most of their studies. Monika Rummler of TU Berlin will share how they prepare their teaching staff. She will share insights into the most frequently encountered problems during these classes and what one can do to deal with those problems.

CELT and 4TU.CEE invite you for a lunch colloquium on 'Professional development for Higher Education teaching staff'. Dr. Monika Rummler (Centre for Scientific Continuing Education and Cooperation, TU Berlin) will present and discuss how TU Berlin is improving teaching and learning via continuing professional development of teaching staff.

Would you like to learn more about innovations in engineering education innovations at TU Eindhoven? And more specifically about Innovations in the context of the Innovation Space? Then visit the third (educational) Innovation Day at TU/e on Wednesday 31 January 2018. Goal of this day is to inspire teachers and support staff to improve or innovate our teaching practice. There will be ample time and opportunity to talk about education, educational innovations and to get acquainted with new tools and tricks. During the day several workshops about education will take place at the Innovation Space, such as student guidance in project education, feedback in education and adapting to change. After the first workshop round, the innovation market can be visited. At the innovation market, last year's TU/e innovation projects present their results and new projects present their plans for the upcoming year. A moment to share experiences and ideas to improve our education! 

The Teachers Day of WUR will take place on 12 December this year. The focus is on innovative university teaching and the experience of teachers involved in education innovation.
