For years, only 30% of students passed the Reactor Engineering course at TU/e. That was until John van der Schaaf radically revamped the teaching and assessment methods: no more traditional lectures, but modules with videos, guided self-study and digital tests that students can take at times that suit them. The result? 70% now pass and students understand the material better.
During this meeting, John, Director of Education at CE&C, will explain how he developed this approach, the challenges he encountered and why this method is now also being used in other subjects. You will gain practical insights into:
- How flexible testing works in practice
- What preconditions are necessary for success
- How crucial cooperation between lecturers, ICT and examination boards is
Join us and discover how smart assessment innovation doubled the pass rate and motivates students to really learn!
