Board of Examiners training
On May 21st, training sessions welcomed a delightful mix of both long-standing and new board members, forming a smaller, intimate group. This setting fostered a warm and engaging atmosphere where we saw enriching exchanges across faculties, policy, and legal services. Participants revisited familiar materials and explored new ones, leading to a wealth of interesting insights and shared learning experiences.
Looking forward: Summer School!

Designing and teaching an online course

Throughout the course, you’re encouraged to join discussions and share your work on the platform. You’ll receive formal feedback from instructors on your submissions and can attend weekly online consultations to ask questions, share experiences, and discuss assignments. By the end, you’ll have a practical blueprint, storyboard, fully-developed module, and communication and evaluation plans for your online course. Learn more and register here.
Intercultural Communication in Education
Teaching at TU Delft means working in a diverse environment with people from various cultural backgrounds. This course is specifically designed to equip you with the essential skills and strategies needed to navigate cultural diversity in the classroom and improve student engagement, collaboration, and learning outcomes. You'll learn how to communicate without judgment or stereotypes, fostering a respectful and inclusive learning environment; gain insight into your own communication styles and how they may be perceived by people from different cultural backgrounds; interpret verbal and non-verbal cues and adapt your communication style to match the cultural context; and analyze complex intercultural classroom situations and implement practical solutions to promote inclusivity and reduce misunderstandings.
