Are you a student? Do you occasionally struggle with motivation? Do you want to discover what motivation is, how to trigger it and how other students deal with motivation?
If the answer is yes, you should come to EDLAB’s next StudentMeet!

We will explore theories of motivation and how they can be applied to education. We can’t wait to hear your unique perspective during our guided discussion on topics like incentives and intrinsic motivation.

Do you have questions about the topic? Feel free to ask our panel of experts during the event. At the end of the day, we hope you’ll leave with some tools you need to feel pumped for the rest of the academic year!

Come by for coffee, cake, and a discussion at EDLAB on Tuesday 28 March 2023, from 3:00-4:00.

This event will showcase examples of educational initiatives in which either teachers or students have made use of digital technologies. Think of having students create a video or a podcast instead of attend a lecture or write a paper. Or setting up an escape room where students can apply the knowledge acquired in class, or students creating Wikipedia pages to demonstrate comprehension and practise writing skills.

Join us for an inspiring event for both students and teaching staff to unleash the potential of technology-enhanced education at UM!

“Teaching is learning, and learning is teaching”

This online workshop is designed to train mentors, coaches and tutors on coaching and mentoring skills. In this 2 hour online workshop, we will explore the main differences between teaching, mentoring and coaching. We will take stock of the main competencies and skills used in coaching and explore a coaching model. But first and foremost, you will get room to practice your coaching skills with real-life examples of situations that matter to you.

One excellent way of stimulating CCCS learning through formative or summative assessments, is by using Team-Based Quizzes. This method has been found to promote better interaction between the students as well as preparing students well for future assessments.

If you want to learn more about this technique, then please sign up to this workshop where you will experience the 3 steps of this Team-Based Learning format yourselves.

Do you sometimes feel you need to stay optimistic for your students, but you are actually becoming increasingly cynical, frustrated, and weary?

In this workshop, we will explore different scientifically established pathways to conscious nature connectedness that will help you to get the best out of being in nature, in order to aid your well-being. After spending this guided break of three hours in the outdoors, you will feel refreshed, energized, and strengthened.

During the first session the connection between global citizenship education (GCEd) and education for sustainable development (ESD) will become apparent. During the second session, ideas for implementing global citizenship education for sustainability will be presented with examples of how interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teaching and learning activities are embedded in curricula at various faculties (e.g., SBE, FSE, FPN, FASoS) and interdisciplinary programmes (e.g., Minor Sustainability).
