Meet & Eat | Local Community Engagement in Design Education – Can Cats and Dogs Live Under One Roof? with Reinout Kleinhans | 12 April

Meet & Eat | Local Community Engagement in Design Education – Can Cats and Dogs Live Under One Roof? with Reinout Kleinhans | 12 April 12 April 2022 12:30 till 13:30 - Location: Teaching Lab - By: Teaching Academy About this event | Click here to sign up directly Many lecturers at TU Delft seek to connect their teaching to current societal and global challenges in the ‘real’ world. This can require various forms of interaction with target groups, communities of ‘users’ or other stakeholders of design products. This is also known as community engagement. Think for example about the redesign of a neighbourhood park, a square or a public transport facility. However, community engagement (CE) is notoriously difficult in the context of time-bounded courses at TU Delft. While CE can have major benefits, real people and their interests can be harmed if students and their instructors mess up. Mutual Trust and reciprocity are delicate issues. So how to start if you want to incorporate CE in your teaching? In this Meat &Eat session, Reinout Kleinhans (Education Fellow 2020) will discuss the balancing act of engaging local (residential) communities and other stakeholders in student research in university courses. Underlying the short presentation is a conceptual framework that identifies six key challenges and practical solutions for CE in existing or new courses. This Meat &Eat session is particularly relevant for university lecturers and other staff who seek more intensive collaboration with non-university partners in the context of challenge-based university education, exemplified by Joint Interdisciplinary Projects (JIPs), the City Deal ‘Kennis Maken’ and many other examples. About Reinout Kleinhans Reinout Kleinhans is Associate Professor of Urban Regeneration and Neighbourhood Change at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology. His research and teaching interests and expertise include urban regeneration, citizens’ self-organisation, community entrepreneurship, challenge-based learning and community engagement.

Look back DEWIS Virtual Coffee February

Thanks to all the participants of the last DEWIS (online) Coffee Meeting in February! We had a great discussion and reflection about challenges and benefits of remote working during the Pandemic. It was nice to see that in the end, despite being a hard time for everyone we all were able to go through the challenge and grow stronger than before. We are all strong resilient women of science!! During the talk common and similar experiences and stories have been shared by the participants and here below (Figure 01) we captured some of the insights and personal stories shared. Figure 01. Personal Stories & Experiences shared by the participants during the last coffee meeting After that, we discussed and brainstormed together: ‘How can we foster a ‘Culture of Care’ within universities?’ Figure 02. Insights captured during the discussion of the last coffee meeting. In conclusion we all agreed that we need to create a network of support and being supporters for each other , always asking your peers and colleagues how they feel and offer your help. Don’t be afraid of reaching out if you need help yourself or simply need to chat with someone for some company! We are all on the same boat, we all go through difficult moments and we all need human contact to thrive and feel alive. In Figure 2 we captured some of the thoughts of the discussion. Hopefully, this has been the last Online Meeting and from next ones we can meet again in a physical space. Our first upcoming networking event will be our Spring Networking Diner! It was also the last meeting facilitated by Chiara Marradi , who unfortunately moved on in her career (now she lives and works in Belgium). However, she was grateful to be part of this network of inspiring women!

Webinar Remote Teaching | Getting a BOLD Edge: Student Readiness for Learning in a Digital World | 13 April

Webinar Remote Teaching | Getting a BOLD Edge: Student Readiness for Learning in a Digital World | 13 April 13 April 2022 10:00 till 11:00 - Location: Online - By: Teaching Academy This webinar reports why learning how to learn online is now a crucial life skill and cannot be left to chance. It outlines what we know from the research on student readiness for successfully engaging in new forms of blended, on-line and digital (BOLD) learning and shares an innovative effort to help give learners a digital edge for their study. The basic thesis woven throughout the talk is that we can learn a lot on how to design our courses and what it really means to be a BOLD learner by taking more time and creating opportunities to listen to the “voice” of learners. Student Readiness is a focus in the DigitTeL Pro project in collaboration with the 3 courses: ' Synchronous Hybrid ', ' Blended ' and ' Online Distance '. If you are interested in DigiTeL Pro or the courses, the presentation slides of the launch session in November 2021 are available, including the full launch recording : Introduction CPD and DigiTeL Pro by George Ubachs (EADTU – European Association for Distance and Teaching Universities) Student Readiness for Digital Education by Mark Brown (DCU – Dublin City University) Synchronous Hybrid Education by Marieke Pieters (KU Leuven – Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) Blended Education by Naomi Wahls (TU Delft – Delft University of Technology) Online Distance Education by Albert Sangrà (UOC – Universitat Oberta de Catalunya). Future webinars will be announced once the titles and descriptions are finalized. If you have a topic that you would like us to cover, please email Naomi directly: n.l.wahls@tudelft.nl .
