My interest in the context of educational innovation lies in reaching the students in a dynamic and active classroom where a student’s individual preferences and needs are taken in account. Personalization of education is mostly limited to flipped classroom approaches, but that has long proved to be insufficient. Within this Fellowship, I will develop a series of study materials focusing different aspects of the content. E.g., certain theoretical parts of my Transport Phenomena course are best explained with the help of experiments. These parts will be taught in a lab where demonstrations of such experiments will be shown and at the same time, the students will carry out experiments themselves for hands-on experience. Once these different sets of study materials/learning activities are developed, the students will not be categorized to follow just one of them but rather, be exposed to all of them. This is thus also a method which attempts to take the students through a path of self-exploration and self-discovery ultimately leading to a complete learning experience.
