UTQ Fundamentals
Fundamentals is the first step of your UTQ trajectory. During one session you will learn about the principles of Constructive Alignment and how to apply it on your own situation. We zoom in on all elements of Constructive Alignment, especially on the Learning Objectives and how to formulate them.
You will bring one Learning Objective of a course you are involved with to the session. Together with your peers and the trainer(s) you will step by step learn how to (re)formulate your Learning Objective according to the guidelines and to apply the principles of Constructive Alignment to your course. This will form the basis of your educational journey and course design.
After successful completion of Fundamentals, you can continue your UTQ journey in the order you prefer or suits your situation best.
We look forward to meeting you and start your UTQ trajectory together!
