Challenge-based education (CBE) is a core element of teaching and learning initiatives within ENLIGHT. The focus of CBE is on incorporating real-life cases into the teaching of university courses and working on students' 21st century skills. This is a call for participants in the next edition of the CBE training sessions for educators.
This online training opportunity is targeted towards educators or educational designers who would like to gain deeper insights into theory and practice of CBE. The training team will go over relevant frameworks, examples of previous courses and practice applying these principles with colleagues from the ENLIGHT university network.
Am I ready for CBE?
You are ready if you are:
- Committed to student-centered education
- Willing to give up control of the learning process and to trust students to develop their own knowledge with your facilitation
- Experienced in facilitating group and/or team work
- Willing to guide and mentor students
These sessions will be held online with the additional possibility to network, exchange ideas and questions with colleagues from other ENLIGHT universities.
The training has 3 components:
- An asynchronous online path that opens on 21 November 2024. The path requires approximately half a day with the objective of participants gaining familiarity with the concept.
- ZOOM session 1 on 4 November 10:00-12:30 CET – In this session, participants will meet colleagues from the online path in a ZOOM session, reflect on existing knowhow on CBE and design a challenge-based module.
- ZOOM session 2 on 5 November 10:00-12:30 CET –Participants will work in small groups and choose the appropriate teaching tools and techniques to guide and coach students throughout a CBE Module
Please send an expression of interest to the ENLIGHT coordinator at your university before 14 October 2024.
