Acceleration plan | Field Labs for Professional Development
Educational innovations with ICT
Real acceleration does not take place in the zone, but rather within higher education institutions themselves. It is for this reasons that the Facilitating Professional Development for Lecturers zone is designing a professional development offering centred around specific innovations. The field labs are designed around four themes: peer feedback, online didactics, learning analytics and formative testing. This offering is then tested within the participants’ own institutions. These “Field Labs for Professional Development” encompass experimental professional development activities where teachers and support staff develop and work on specific educational innovations with IT.
Egbert Neels talks about the field labs and how you too can get involved with them.
The field lab (Digital) Formative Assessment was developed for lecturers in higher education (hbo/wo), who want to develop their teaching skills in formative testing. Watch the video and learn more about the field lab.

The Digital Peer Feedback field lab focuses on the use of (digital) peer feedback by lecturers in higher education. In a series of four meetings, lecturers learn how to use peer feedback in a well-considered way within their own education and how to supervise this process with their students.

This field lab was developed around using learning analytics in higher education. In a series of six meetings, lecturers are taught step-by-step how to use study data within their own education. Watch the animation for more information.

Blended (or hybrid) education is now commonplace in higher education. The term ‘blended’ emphasises the combination of online and face-to-face activities and resources in education. What does such a combination actually look like? And how do you realise a mix within your own education that is effective, efficient and attractive for both student and lecturer? Both questions and corresponding answers are central to this field lab.

AI offers many opportunities, and so too in higher education. With this field lab, the zone, therefore, addresses the question: How do you (as a lecturer) deploy Artificial Intelligence, in your education? The field lab contains a work package with the method of the professional development approach. In addition, the zone also makes handy documents available: from an email for recruiting jedi to the preparation module. You can download all the components of the field lab below.

Do you want to get started with Open Educational Resources (OERs) within your institution? The Open Educational Resources field lab is a package of materials that institutions can use to set up their professional development initiative around OERs. It includes a work package, six sessions with assignments and a placemat.

Handouts have been developed within the testing grounds Digital peer feedback, Blended Education, Formative assessment and Learning Analytics. These give lecturers a basis to work with educational innovations with IT. The following handouts are available:
