Autumn Festival 2018

Friday afternoon November 30 well over 200 teachers, students, secondary school pupils, and representatives of business and educational institutions took part in the third Autumn Festival of the Teaching & Learning Lab. Flocking together in the hall of the Koningsberger Building they listened as Isabel Arends, Dean of the Faculty of Science and Judith Tielen, member of parliament (VVD), underlined the importance of educational innovation. Businesses from the region presented their digital tools on the information market.

These tools had been discussed already: in the inspiration meeting about useful digitization that preceded the Festival. Businesses showed six tools (Faculty of skills, Drillster, Grasple, Liftov, Digitale microscopie and Feedback fruits), followed by the participants discussing with each other what kind of digital tools they would like to add to their teaching, and what is needed to seriously get educational innovations off the ground.

In the afternoon, the participants could choose from very diverse offerings in almost 40 workshops. One workshop analysed the influence of the classroom. Research shows that academic ability increases significantly if the environment is linked to what a student has to learn. Various possibilities and characteristics of rooms were discussed. Finally, the participants visited a series of rooms on campus, to see whether the characteristics of these space were in line with their intended purpose.

Participants could also work hands-on during the Festival, for instance by making an Augmented Reality app. Their tool: a simple starting model, the HP Reveal app. Using this app, you take a photo of the item that should be ‘scannable’ (the trigger), to which you link a layer that appears when your students scan the trigger with their mobile phone. You can for example add a photo, video, sound, or a 3D model. In another workshop, led by pupils from the Corderius College in Amersfoort, participants programmed a robot car, Leaphy, that could move and even avoid obstacles afterwards. In addition, there was more than enough time to practice with didactical ICT tools and recording knowledge clips.

Even Harry Potter got a look in. Magic and science turn out to have a lot in common. To be able to describe the Potter magic well, author JK Rowling had immersed herself in chemistry. This workshop highlighted several chemical and historical aspects from ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,’ as well as the similarities and differences between magic and science.

The next edition of the Autumn Festival will be part of the Dutch Smart Education Week, an initiative from institutions for higher education in the Utrecht region.

The Autumn Festival was organised by the Teaching & Learning Lab and Educate-it, in cooperation with the Centre for Academic Teaching. The workshops were presented by lecturers and students from Utrecht University, the ROC Midden Nederland, Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, the Hogeschool Utrecht and schools and businesses from the Utrecht region.

Also look at the photo impression of the Autumn Festival.

[collapse title=’Tools – Blended and personalized statistics education (EN)’]
by: Sietske Tacoma & Marcela Ruiz-Carmona, Utrecht University

To overcome challenges that university students face in statistics education, immediate feedback on students’ answers and personalized practice exercises could be powerful means. In a collaboration between the Freudenthal Institute and a group of statistics teachers at Utrecht University, eight introductory online modules on statistics and eight online modules with extra practice exercises have been developed. The introductory modules contain theory and exercises and can be used for blended learning, as a first introduction to the topics. Students receive immediate feedback on their answers. After finishing one or more introductory modules, students can consult an overview of their performance on the various topics involved. Next, they can select extra practice exercises corresponding to topics for which their performance score is low.

In this session, participants are invited to discover the introductory and extra practice modules, as well as the overview of performance on which selection of extra practice exercises can be based. Experiences with these modules in statistics courses for Information Science and Biology students will be shared. Possibilities for further use of the modules in other bachelor programs will be discussed.

Please bring your own device to be able to work with the modules.

[collapse title=’Spaces – Design: design a physical learning space for your own teaching (continued in Round 3) (EN) ‘]
theme: How to design your future learning space today?
by: Jasper van Winden, Utrecht University

How we are teaching is in practice often determined by our classroom layouts. However it should be the other way around: our classroom layouts should be determined by how we are teaching. This insight challenges daily practice for most teachers. And it leads to the conclusion that learning space design should be an integral part of the course design. In this workshop we will make a start with this by redesigning a class, including both the teaching methods and the learning space.

In the next round (Workshop Spaces – Experience: Learning spaces: the hands-on experience) you can apply your design in the Teaching & Learning Lab, where you can change the classroom lay-out yourself.

[collapse title=’Tools – Communicate: practicing communication skills in a virtual environment (EN)’]
theme: IT-tools for education: try yourself
by: Nicole Mastenbroek, Veterinary Medicine and Michiel Hulsbergen, Social & Behavioural Sciences, Utrecht University

Communicate is a serious game platform for practicing communication skills. It supports practicing interpersonal communication skills between a professional such as a doctor and client, businesses and consumers, or government organizations and citizens. A player selects a scenario, and holds a consultation with a virtual character. In the consultation, the player chooses between different statements. The player scores on the learning goals addressed by the scenario, and gets immediate feedback through the effect of the choice on the answer options on the utterance and emotion of the virtual character. Communicate not only offers a playing environment, but also an editor for scenarios. A scenario is a graph-like structure, extended with several constructs to avoid the development of repetitive structures. For example, a teacher can specify discussions about separate subjects, and allow the player to take steps from both discussions in arbitrary order. Educational institutes worldwide are looking for better ways to accommodate active and collaborative learning. One particularly successful initiative in this effort, supported by JISC, is the ‘Sticky campus’. After a two year tour in the UK, the JISC Sticky Campus has now come to the Netherlands to introduce its technology enhanced collaborative learning classroom. In this workshop you will get an overview of the didactic advantages of this set-up, as well as practical tips of how to teach in it.
In this workshop we will introduce Communicate. The participants will play a scenario, and take some first steps towards developing their own scenario.

[collapse title=’Tools – Programmatic assessment (EN)’]
theme: IT-tools for education: user experiences
by: Alex Lodder en Herman Jonker, Utrecht University

Programmatic Assessment is about the integration of learning and assessing. In this approach the teacher chooses to assess a student with a variety of assessments instruments. Meaningful feedback and reflection on the student’s learning experience are essential. This way of testing, which involves all test moments, focuses on personal, activating degree programmes in which the students are responsible for their own progress.

In this session you will learn more about Programmatic Assessment at Utrecht University with examples from use cases from both Veterinary Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

[collapse title=’VR/AR – Embodied immersive learning in collaborative mixed reality environments (EN)’]
theme: Leren met mixed reality: de volgende stap in onderwijs?
by: Joris Weijdom, lecturer and researcher bij de HKU (University of the Arts Utrecht)

Learning by doing is one of the key concepts for design processes in general and higher art education in particular. Through experiential learning methodology embodied knowledge is contextualized through an iterative design cycle of doing and reflecting. Collaborative mixed reality environments (CMREs) enable creative and learning processes through full-body interaction with mediated ideas and concepts. However often these technologies are applied in forms of immersive learning that seem to neglect the important role of the body itself. In this lecture Joris Weijdom, from the HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, shares his research, experience and future vision on innovative pedagogy using CMREs in higher art education through inspirational examples from the HKU and international best-practices.

Joris Weijdom is researcher and designer of mixed-reality experiences focusing on interdisciplinary creative processes and performativity. He founded the Media and Performance Laboratory (MAPLAB), enabling from 2012 until 2015 practice-led artistic research on the intersection of performance, media and technology. He works at the Professorship Performative Processes and teaches several BA and MA courses at the HKU University of the Arts Utrecht. Joris is always looking for the ‘inter’ in everything: inter-disciplinarity, inter-connectivity, inter-action and inter-faces. As PhD candidate he currently researches creative processes in collaborative mixed reality environments (CMRE).
