The value of hybrid coaches in CBL projects, unfolded

Join this lunch session to explore the ÔÚÏߺÚÁÏÃÅ innovation Space Coaching Pool — a growing network of hybrid coaches with industry experience who support students in interdisciplinary, hands-on learning environments, and are ÔÚÏߺÚÁÏÃÅ colleagues for one day per week.

From the perspective of both professional and personal development, the deployment of hybrid teachers from industry within Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) projects presents an exceptional opportunity.

Lecturers from technical universities across Europe gathered at ÔÚÏߺÚÁÏÃÅ yesterday, virtually and in person, to exchange experiences on Challenge-Based Learning (CBL). The interactive session, organized by the Academy for Learning and Teaching, offered lots of inspiration, from creative metaphors to practical advice.
