Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce that together with Delft University of Technology (TUD) we are organizing an event with the primary goal to share examples of TU Delft teacher training.

TUD is a renowned university in the Netherlands ranked 52nd on the QS World University Rankings, who has been running University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) since 2008.

Two educational advisors from TUD will visit our university on May 22-23 and give a general introduction to UTQ as well as deliver two pilot trainings to a selected number of colleagues.

The draft program is as follows:
General introduction to UTQ
May 22, 9.00-12.00: general introduction to UTQ, open to everyone, however, you do have to register before May 8 at: https://goo.gl/forms/z1Xv4t37UDNbySmg2

Pilot trainings
The content of the two pilot trainings is identical. If you wish to attend, you have to sign up for a pilot training before March 29.
May 22, 13.00-18.00: pilot training 1, open to a selected number of colleagues (registration required)
May 23, 9.00-15.00: pilot training 2, open to a selected number of colleagues (registration required)
For registration, please go to: https://goo.gl/forms/hUEt6tvd5sBMdsSi1

As for the pilot trainings please note the following:

• the trainings aim for active involvement, thus the size of the group is limited to 15 persons/training,
• sign up only if you can attend the training from the beginning to the end,
• all communication will be in English, a good command of English is needed,
• a course will be created in the Moodle system where all the materials will be available,
• and finally, homework will be handed out beforehand, teachers are expected to prepare and bring it to the training.

The trainings will touch upon the following:

• Good assessment: how to assess your students in a valid and reliable way? 5 criteria that will help you.
• How to activate your students in a lecture? Develop and deliver a well-prepared mini lecture, in which you engage the students, stimulate active learning, and hold their attention.
• Creating a course in which the learning goals match activities and the assessment.
• Using peer feedback.
• Blending your course: online/offline?
