The last few months have been critical for teachers and students trying to adapt quickly to online education. Experiments with digital forms for teaching and learning offered flexibility and customized solutions for learning. COVID-19 has also brought about numerous challenges to teach, engage, coach and assess students in digital environments. At the online ICAB conference, you are invited to share your views and current experiences with online teaching and learning in higher education. We hope to inspire each other for future hybrid forms of high-quality education, including improved student interaction and engagement. This year’s ICAB conference is fully devoted to Online Teaching & Learning and will be organized online, hosted by the Eindhoven University of Technology.
Programme
ICAB2020 includes a livestream at TU/e of two keynote speakers:
- Prof. dr. Perry den Brok (WUR) will share the results from an extended study on online forms of education since the outbreak of Corona
- Dr. Johanna Höffken (TU/e), Dutch teacher of the year 2020, will inspire us by sharing experiences in designing and implementing a challenge-based course for BSc students, before and in Corona times.
In between the keynotes there are two one-hour parallel sessions with a variety of presentations and workshops related to online teaching and learning. The program can be found here. The complete program including details of the parallel sessions will be posted on the website after the submission period is closed.
Submissions
For the two one-hour parallel sessions, we invite you to submit your contributions and/or suggestions as soon as possible, but no later than October 1. We hope to receive proposals (see submission details) for presentations, workshops and hands-on activities related to the central theme of ICAB ‘Online Teaching and Learning’, such as online or hybrid forms for lecturing, practicals or projects, online student engagement, online assessment, online supervision and coaching, etc. and the related student and teacher satisfaction. Contributions emphasizing the lessons we have learned so far in the last couple of months, aiming at enhancing learning, supporting interaction, and improving the quality in our current and future education, are strongly encouraged!
