Blended learning. How do you put that into practice? After a short introduction by Mariska Kleemans, blended learning specialist Barend Last discusses a number of relatable practical challenges: how do you deal with students who don't prepare for class or only study for the test? What to do when students don't come to class? This interactive keynote will give you inspiration and ideas on how to deal with these effectively.
NB: The keynote will be presented in Dutch, but asking questions in English is not a problem.

How do you encourage interaction in your lecture or during work groups? This might seem simple, but many teachers knows the situation where despite everything you try, the group remains silent. Titia Meijer, teacher for more than 30 years and appreciated for her interactive way of teaching, uses her rich teaching experience to explain how to ensure that the tips and tricks really work (with a 'secret ingredient'). She does this - of course - interactively with the participants, leaving plenty of room for everyone's questions and experiences.
