Special Edition Staff Academy webinar: Education Lab Results

December 9 @ 12:00 - 13:30 CET

Virtual Event

As the holiday season approaches we welcome you to the festival of webinars!

During December in this special edition of Staff Academy webinars the Joint Education Lab projects are showcasing their projects!

Throughout the academic year, INGENIUM organises several public Staff Academy webinars where there are 1–3 short case presentations on cutting-edge teaching practices, followed by a lively discussion and Q&A session. The webinars unfold on Zoom and are hosted by the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk).

Projects in the Webinar

Rethinking Assessment and Feedback for Inclusive Learning amid Contemporary
Issues in Higher Education (RAFIL-CIHE)

The INGENIUM Education Lab Rethinking Assessment and Feedback for Inclusive Learning brings together partners from Munster Technological University, the University of Crete, and South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences to collaboratively design an innovative, research-informed micro-credential on assessment and feedback in higher education. Throughout the project the team organised monthly webinars to explore shared challenges while exchanging institutional expertise and co-developing module components. This work culminated in an in-person meeting at the University of Crete, where the team recorded structured webinar content covering assessment literacy, student-centred design, AI-enabled feedback, culturally responsive and multimodal assessment, and sustainable feedback practices. Together, these activities lay the foundation for a jointly developed, inclusive, and future-focused assessment and feedback module for the INGENIUM alliance.

CHEMIT: Exploring Organic Chemistry Through Immersive Technologies

The CHEMIT project brings together Munster Technological University (MTU), the University of Oviedo (UNIOVI), and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences (HKA) to explore how existing technological and didactic innovations in virtual-reality-based teaching can be transferred into new educational contexts. While HKA and MTU already use advanced VR infrastructures and social VR environments in their teaching, the University of Oviedo sees strong potential for applying VR in its Chemistry programmes. CHEMIT therefore aims to map the current state of VR use across the three institutions, identify opportunities for integrating VR into chemistry education, and outline future concepts for meaningful VR-supported learning.

Using assessment “OF, FOR and AS” learning to develop a more impactful and authentic Intercultural Communication learning experience for students of MTU and HKA.

David O Hanlon from MTU is leading the project and MTU is collaborating with MTU. They focus on the development of intercultural competence (UNESCO, 2013) among students from Munster Technological University (MTU) and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences (HKA). By “internationalising” the learning experience (through the use of asynchronous and synchronous communication tools available on the INGENIUM Moodle Learning Management System- LMS), students of International Communication (from the International Business programme in MTU) and Business English (from a variety of programmes in HKA) will have the opportunity to experience authentic international communication between one another (without having to travel abroad). This project connects students through self- and peer-assessment of key communication and interpersonal skills (delivery of feedback, presenting to an international audience, networking and cultural/emotional intelligence) using co-designed rubrics. Online collaboration and reflection deepen intercultural understanding and support the development of cultural and emotional intelligence. They aim to refine the approach based on student feedback and share the project’s outcomes across INGENIUM.
