Learning Cycle Toolbox

The Learning Cycle Toolbox supports students and teachers in self‑regulated learning through a set of concise, practical tools aligned with every phase of the learning cycle. Originally developed for Maastricht University’s medical curriculum, it now serves as an easy‑to‑use resource for any SRL-promoting higher‑education context. The tools align with the phases and steps of the (self‑regulated) learning cycle (Plan – Act – Look Back) and can be used independently by students or initiated by the teacher. Additional sets of tools are included to offer structure for student team meetings and one‑on‑one coaching sessions. All tools are brief, practical, and easy to apply – no long texts. This toolbox is designed to help students strengthen their self‑regulated learning (SRL) skills. It also serves as a useful resource for teachers who support students in developing SRL. Although it was originally created for Maastricht University’s medical curriculum, it may also inspire use in other higher‑education contexts where SRL is encouraged. Because tools work best when tailored to their specific setting, the current materials are intentionally fit for purpose. However, they can be easily adapted for use in other educational environments. De ‘Learning Cycle Toolbox’ ondersteunt studenten en docenten bij zelfgestuurd leren door middel van een reeks beknopte, praktische hulpmiddelen die zijn afgestemd op elke fase van de leercyclus. Oorspronkelijk ontwikkeld voor het medische curriculum van de Universiteit Maastricht, dient het nu als een gebruiksvriendelijk hulpmiddel voor elke context in het hoger onderwijs waar zelfgestuurd leren wordt gestimuleerd. De hulpmiddelen sluiten aan bij de fasen en stappen van de (zelfregulerende) leercyclus (Plan – Act – Look Back) en kunnen zelfstandig door studenten worden gebruikt of door de docent worden geïnitieerd. Er zijn extra sets hulpmiddelen opgenomen om structuur te bieden voor teamvergaderingen van studenten en één-op-één coachingsessies. Alle hulpmiddelen zijn beknopt, praktisch en eenvoudig toe te passen – geen lange teksten. Deze toolbox is ontworpen om studenten te helpen hun vaardigheden op het gebied van zelfgereguleerd leren (SRL) te versterken. Het dient ook als een nuttig hulpmiddel voor docenten die studenten ondersteunen bij het ontwikkelen van SRL. Hoewel de toolbox oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor het medische curriculum van de Universiteit Maastricht, kan deze ook inspiratie bieden voor gebruik in andere hogeronderwijssituaties waar SRL wordt aangemoedigd. Omdat hulpmiddelen het beste werken wanneer ze zijn afgestemd op hun specifieke context, zijn de huidige materialen bewust doelgericht ontworpen. Ze kunnen echter eenvoudig worden aangepast voor gebruik in andere onderwijsomgevingen.

Collaboration and Personal Development

In this reader, a teaching programme (assignments, underlying models and theories) is described to develop collaborative skills in a transdisciplinary-oriented educational context in between science and society. The focus lies on creating awareness about mechamisms that promote pleasurability, effectiveness and responsibility in professional collaborative practices. The MSc course for which it was created, is called Academic Consultancy Training, taught at Wageningen University and Research

Curriculum Support Roadmap

The curriculum roadmap shows how the Teaching and Learning Centre – Project Office Learning Arrangements has visualised the adaptive support service for curriculum redesign. It focuses on the level of a BSc or MSc programme. This visual can be used to inspire a redesign process and to identify major building blocks to consider during this process.

ACA-bot

ACA-bot is an engaging chatbot designed for Automated Conversational Assessment (ACA). Drawing inspiration from traditional oral exams, this text-based conversational agent transforms assessment into a dynamic learning experience. It supports both formative and summative evaluation by offering students personalised feedback and guidance at every step of their learning journey. The first ACA-bot prototype focuses on assessing students’ understanding of basic statistical concepts, but its flexible design allows for easy adaptation to a wide range of subjects and learning contexts. Through interactive dialogue, students can practise explaining ideas clearly under exam-like conditions, apply their knowledge to new and challenging questions, and refine their reasoning as they respond to follow-up prompts. They gain valuable insights into their own understanding, identify areas for improvement, and gradually build confidence for both oral and written assessments. For educators, ACA-bot offers a powerful way to scale oral examinations and enhance formative assessment without increasing workload. It automates parts of the assessment process, provides structured and actionable insights into student performance, and opens the door to more personal, interactive feedback at scale. By combining the strengths of conversational AI and educational assessment, ACA-bot turns evaluation into a collaborative, insightful process. It empowers students to think aloud, reason more effectively, and grow, while giving educators a smarter, more innovative way to understand and support learning. ACA-bot is een slimme en inspirerende chatbot die onderwijs en Artificial Intelligence samenbrengt. Geïnspireerd door het klassieke mondelinge examen tilt deze tekstgebaseerde gespreksagent Automated Conversational Assessment naar een nieuw niveau. Studenten krijgen via natuurlijke gesprekken directe, persoonlijke feedback en begeleiding, waardoor leren en toetsen samenvloeien in één boeiende ervaring. Het prototype van ACA-bot is ontwikkeld om kennis over statistiek te beoordelen, maar dankzij het flexibele ontwerp kan het systeem eenvoudig worden aangepast aan andere vakgebieden en toepassingen. Tijdens interactieve dialogen leren studenten helder uitleg geven, hun kennis toepassen op nieuwe vragen en hun redenering aanscherpen. Ze ontdekken waar hun begrip nog verdiept kan worden en groeien zichtbaar in zelfvertrouwen — waardevolle voorbereiding op zowel mondelinge als schriftelijke examens. Ook voor docenten biedt ACA-bot een slimme oplossing. Het maakt mondelinge toetsing schaalbaar, ondersteunt formatieve beoordeling via gesprek, en vermindert de werkdruk door delen van het beoordelingsproces te automatiseren. Bovendien geeft het gestructureerde inzichten in de voortgang en denkwijze van studenten, waardoor elke dialoog bijdraagt aan beter onderwijs. ACA-bot laat zien hoe Automated Conversational Assessment het leren persoonlijker, interactiever en effectiever maakt. Studenten denken hardop, verkennen hun eigen begrip, en verbeteren met vertrouwen — terwijl docenten op een innovatieve, datagedreven manier inzicht krijgen in hoe kennis werkelijk wordt begrepen.

ShareXR : Challenge-Based Learning with XR (BMS Lab, University of Twente)

ShareXR introduces a challenge-based learning (CBL) approach for integrating research, design, and development in engineering education through extended reality (XR). Developed at the University of Twente’s BMS Lab, the model addresses the increasing need for multidisciplinary collaboration by teaching students to speak a shared language across research, design, and technical development. Even for those without an engineering, scientific or STEM background. This course offers a hands-on, multidisciplinary learning experience where students take real research ideas and transform them into innovation projects within a complete and validated open learning XR ecosystem. With reusable multimedia course content, the course enables students to understand interdisciplinary collaboration, while each module focuses on one of the four pillars: Research, Design, Development, and Project Management — guided by principles of balance, iteration, and collaboration. By working with different tools like one-page project canvases, students will learn how to translate research ideas into structured user stories, requirements, and project management tasks, while exploring how XR tools can act as a human-centered medium for prototyping, testing, and validating ideas without requiring coding skills.

Self-study module Introduction to Plant Biology - Abiotic stress

This self-study module is part of the series ‘Introduction to Plant Biology’ and introduces abiotic stress in plants and explains how plants cope with and adapt to challenging environmental conditions. It is designed for students learning basic plant biology and for teachers seeking clear figures and explanations for educational use. The module covers key abiotic stresses - heat, cold, flooding, drought, salinity, and high light intensity - and examines the physiological, structural, and adaptive strategies plants use to survive and grow under these conditions.
