Sign up! Student Expert Sessions

At the Centre we think about how to innovate learning experience design. Lately, our learning experts have been thinking about how students can actively participate in the design of the courses that they take. 

Read: What if students could create their own course?

The next step in this endeavour is our Student Expert Sessions, where we will guide 10 participants in creating their very own expert session. Students will receive 2 coaching sessions to develop and deliver an online learning experience. Moreover, they will be given insights, tools, and expertise to understand what makes a successful learning experience.

You will guide your fellow students in a crash course into an innovative theme of your choice, with topics ranging from a new form of governance to how we as humans evolve in a crisis or other surprising ways to change the world. The workshops will be an example of active learning by making use of the online possibilities for education. Looking for inspiration?
