Clinical Tools: A DIY catalogue for the creative

Instead of encouraging the purchasing of new technologies for medical training, this textbook, in the form of a catalogue, focuses on sharing examples of creative tools that already exist. This issue also offers a practical guide for how to make these tools, encouraging using local resources. Ever considered where your learning tools come from as you study or teach medicine? So many teaching materials in medicine are mass-produced, environmentally unfriendly, and reproduce the same kind of bodies. We need a drastic rethinking of our teaching tools. But rather than new inventions, what if the innovations we need are already out there? Our first issue of Clinical Tools: A DIY Catalogue for the Creative celebrates the abundance of ideas for teaching materials that already exist in medical education. Inside you will find gorgeous illustrations, clear instructions for how to make tools and insightful essays exploring the ideas behind DIY in medical education. Get your making supplies ready! This open textbook is designed for nursing, medical and other healthcare students and teachers across bachelor’s, undergraduate and postgraduate, master’s level, especially those enrolled in courses on clinical training. It is also relevant to other practitioners and learners working in healthcare contexts who continue to engage in educational activities. The textbook is intended to help students learn about and create their own teaching tools, whether they are working in obstetrics, surgery, or general medicine. The book supports learning by doing: students and teachers can read and adapt the instructions, use the included suggestions, and connect to what is available and relevant in their own healthcare contexts. It is also suitable for instructors seeking accessible, reusable teaching material that can be integrated into classroom teaching, assignments, and research-led education across healthcare education settings. In plaats van het aanschaffen van nieuwe technologieën voor medisch onderwijs aan te moedigen, richt dit studieboek, in de vorm van een catalogus, zich op het delen van voorbeelden van creatieve hulpmiddelen die al bestaan. Deze uitgave biedt daarnaast een praktische handleiding voor het maken van deze hulpmiddelen en stimuleert het gebruik van lokale middelen en materialen. Heb je je tijdens het leren of onderwijzen van geneeskunde ooit afgevraagd waar je leermiddelen vandaan komen? Veel onderwijsmaterialen in de geneeskunde worden op grote schaal geproduceerd, zijn belastend voor het milieu en tonen steeds weer dezelfde soorten lichamen. We moeten onze manier van denken over onderwijsmiddelen drastisch herzien. Maar in plaats van nieuwe uitvindingen te ontwikkelen: wat als de innovaties die we nodig hebben al bestaan? Ons eerste deel van Clinical Tools: A DIY Catalogue for the Creative viert de overvloed aan ideeën voor onderwijsmaterialen die al binnen het medisch onderwijs bestaan. In deze uitgave vind je prachtige illustraties, duidelijke instructies voor het maken van hulpmiddelen en inzichtelijke essays waarin de ideeën achter doe-het-zelf (DIY) in het medisch onderwijs worden verkend. Maak je materialen maar alvast klaar! Dit open studieboek is bedoeld voor studenten en docenten in de verpleegkunde, geneeskunde en andere zorgopleidingen, op bachelor-, undergraduate-, postgraduate- en masterniveau, en in het bijzonder voor degenen die onderwijs volgen of geven binnen opleidingen en cursussen gericht op klinische training. Het boek is ook relevant voor andere professionals en lerenden die werkzaam zijn in de zorg en zich blijven bezighouden met onderwijsactiviteiten. Het studieboek is bedoeld om studenten te helpen bij het leren over én het zelf ontwikkelen van onderwijshulpmiddelen, of zij nu werkzaam zijn binnen de verloskunde, chirurgie of algemene geneeskunde. Het boek ondersteunt leren door te doen: studenten en docenten kunnen de instructies lezen en aanpassen, gebruikmaken van de opgenomen suggesties en aansluiten bij wat beschikbaar en relevant is binnen hun eigen zorgcontext. Het is ook geschikt voor docenten die op zoek zijn naar toegankelijk en herbruikbaar onderwijsmateriaal dat kan worden geïntegreerd in klassikaal onderwijs, opdrachten en onderwijs dat gebaseerd is op onderzoek binnen verschillende zorgopleidingen en -contexten.

AgriLemma 2.0: A serious game for exploring dilemmas in agriculture

In AgriLemma, you are a farmer in Europe managing your own farm across 8 seasons. You grow six types of crops — potatoes, sugar beets, rapeseed, corn, wheat, and chickpeas — each requiring resources such as seeds, water, nutrients, and workers. Players must run, invest in, and improve their farm with sustainable technologies while balancing competing priorities and navigating uncertainties like weather events and pest attacks. The objective is to maximize overall farm health, which is determined by three dimensions: environmental health (positive ecological impact), social health (worker satisfaction), and financial health (farm profitability). Players must strategize across all three dimensions simultaneously — decisions that boost profit may come at an environmental cost, and vice versa. The game makes these trade-offs tangible, encouraging reflection on what sustainable farming really requires. ------------------------------ Learning objectives: · Experiment with different strategies — to operationalize and adapt an approach under pressure, and to reflect on how well it held up. · Expose students to issues of risk management — to plan, control, and explain the reasoning behind in-game choices relating to sustainability, soil conservation practices, integrated crop management, weeding, and pest management, and to learn how to respond when conditions change. · Experience the complexity of decision-making — to take into account weather and policy uncertainties, sustainability pressures, economic realities, and the broader context in which farm decisions are made. --------------------------------Practical information: · Format: Board game (physical/ print-and-play) · Players: 2-4 players (extendable to 8 by playing in teams of 2) · Duration: 3 hours, including onboarding and debrief · Level: Higher education / Stakeholder engagement · Language: English --------------------------------Credits: AgriLemma was originally designed as part of the WATERAGRI project. The second version, including a full redesign of the graphics, was developed with funding support from the TU Delft Open Science Programme course "Civic Engagement in Action: Empowering Researchers and Educators to Make an Impact". Game design: Dr. ir. Aashna Mittal - TU Delft, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management Graphic design and illustration: Gracia Bovenberg-Murris and Michelle de Smit – TU Delft GameLab Note on image generation: The images in the tech cards and the border of the main game board were created using AI-generated imagery. The constructed wetlands card image is also AI-generated. All other cards and box art are hand-drawn or created in Adobe Illustrator. Note on usability: The print-and-play version of the game has been optimized for office printing.

Open Education menu

We created a ready-to-use menu with 17 different Open Education practices to be implemented in your education. With each practice turned into its own dish and recipe, you can easily see how the practice can be implemented, with its difficulty level and examples. The goal is to provide you with ideas and examples on how to implement Open Science practices into your education. Or use the menu as a starting point for conversations about open educational practices with colleagues! Already an expert? The menu can also be used for a 1-hour workshop on Open Educational practices for others interested in Open Science. Let the participants select a dish from the menu they are interested in, and help them to adapt the dish so they can turn their own ideas into real practices.

WindowMappr©

The WindowMappr© was developed to make spatial challenges connected to landscape and land use tangible, visible and easier to discuss in a low‑threshold way that stimulates interaction, reflection and co‑creation, both in educational settings and in practice, where digital participatory mapping tools are often too technical or distant for quick, collaborative use. Its simple and consistent setup makes it broadly applicable across contexts, supporting spatial thinking in education and facilitating the exchange of knowledge, experiences and perspectives in participatory processes without requiring technical expertise. This document provides a practical guide for constructing the WindowMappr© and outlines its basic principles of use.
