CPD Workshop: Course design for student engagement – What we can learn from motivational theories
Description
When designing a course we are not only deciding on the content, we are also taking decisions on how we want to organise the course. Motivational theories entail many indications on how to organise a course in order to foster student engagement. What are those theories and their suggestions for practice and how do we apply those in our courses? This session is all about digging deeper into theories for student engagement and sharing best practices.
This activity will be offered on-campus (at EDLAB – TAPX building 23, St. Hubertuslaan 12) on the 7th of March 2022 from 15.00-17.00 CET and you can sign up below.
Intended learning outcomes
In participating in this CPD activity, you will:
…know about course design and how it can influence students’ motivation,
…be able to apply motivational theories to own course design.
