UM Education Days 2026: save the date

Call for session ideas: share your insights and innovations

We’re inviting colleagues to share ideas, examples, and experiences around the themes below. The aim is to open up conversations, compare approaches, and spark new ways of thinking and practising teaching and learning at Maastricht University.

1. Evaluating your course without course evaluations
   How can students and teachers look at the teaching and learning process together in ways that genuinely enhance education?
2. Learning through assessment
   Approaches that bring assessment and learning closer together, using evaluation as part of the learning process rather than just a measure at the end.
3. Let’s not agree to disagree
   Ways of designing and facilitating discussions around complex or contested topics, with space for different perspectives and constructive dialogue.
4. Collaborative learning
   Examples of how working together, among students, staff, or both, can deepen understanding and support learning.
5. The craft of tutoring
   What does expertise in tutoring look like in practice? Share experiences, skills, and approaches that make a difference.
6. Outdoor learning
   Ideas for teaching and learning in outdoor settings. What changes when learning moves outside?
7. Student–staff collaboration and co-creation
   Stories and examples of students and staff working together to design, adapt, or improve education.
8. Submit a game for the education arcade
   Have you developed a game that supports teaching and learning? Bring it along. During the breaks, colleagues can try it out and exchange ideas.
