Week 3: Creating and Selecting Options

Around this video, a lesson has been built with specific learning objectives, activities, and supporting materials for students. The next steps in the case-solving cycle are being explained: generating and selecting solutions. Students explore ideation techniques like brainwriting and mind mapping to develop creative, practical ideas. Ground rules help keep the process focused, collaborative, and open. To evaluate ideas, the SFA framework (Suitability, Feasibility, Acceptability) is used to shortlist the most promising options. A real-world example shows how these tools lead to well-founded decisions. Finally, students learn to apply a decision-making matrix to compare options using relevant criteria. This lesson helps students move from insights to action by developing structured, team-driven solutions.

Week 5: The special Role of Finance

Around an informative video, a lesson has been built with specific learning objectives, activities, and supporting materials for students. In clear language and step by step, it is explained why finance plays an important role in the case-solving process. Since students often find this challenging, a separate lesson is dedicated to this managerial area. Students learn how to integrate financial reasoning into their analysis and recommendations, even when limited data is available. Key topics include identifying revenue streams, estimating costs, projecting financial outcomes, and evaluating risk. With a focus on practical tools like forecasting, ROI, and risk matrices, this lesson helps students build confidence in using finance to strengthen their case arguments and support strategic decisions.

Week 1: An Introduction to Case Solving and Case Competitions

Around 4 captivating videos, a lesson has been built with specific learning objectives, activities, and supporting materials for students. The core principles of case solving are being introduced—a hands-on, engaging approach to addressing real business challenges. Students learn how to think like consultants, working in diverse teams to analyze complex problems and develop practical solutions. The case-solving process follows a structured cycle: understanding the case, analyzing root causes, generating solutions, planning implementation, and presenting recommendations. Alumni reflect on how these experiences strengthened their confidence, teamwork, and decision-making skills—benefits that continue to serve them in their careers. By the end of this introduction, students will grasp what business cases are, how to approach them strategically, and how to collaborate effectively in teams.

Week 2: Analysing a Case

Around an inspiring video, a lesson has been built with specific learning objectives, activities, and supporting materials for students. Essential case-solving techniques to help students tackle complex real-world problems, are being introduced and trained. The instructors explain that effective analysis goes beyond listing facts—it’s about uncovering insights that address the “so what” question. Key methods covered include critical thinking, analytical frameworks (like VRIO, Porter’s 5 Forces, and GAP analysis), and the 5 WHY technique for identifying root causes. Using a concrete case example, they show how a deeper issue—ineffective communication—was the true cause of low user engagement. By the end of this lesson, students understand how to structure their analysis, avoid common mistakes, and use insights to drive solution development.

Week 4: Creating an Implementation Plan

Around an engaging video, a lesson has been built with specific learning objectives, activities, and supporting materials for students. The focus is on a key phase in the case-solving cycle: turning strategy into action through effective implementation. The instructors introduce a six-step framework that guides students in building a clear, realistic plan to bring strategic solutions to life. From setting SMART goals and allocating resources (using the MMM framework) to creating timelines, assigning responsibilities, and assessing risks, this lesson shows how to structure implementation at different levels. Using a case example, students see how thoughtful planning ensures feasibility and alignment across business functions. By the end of the lesson, students are equipped to translate ideas into impact with a well-structured roadmap.

Kunsteducatie, creativiteit en de rol van autonomie

Het doel van dit artikel is om een brede visie te schetsen op creativiteit in de kunsteducatie en het belang van autonomie voor leerlingen daarin. Eerst bespreken we de verschillende definities van het begrip creativiteit in de literatuur. Vervolgens lichten we onze bredere en dynamische visie op creativiteitsontwikkeling toe. Hoewel creativiteit in de literatuur vaak geassocieerd wordt met creatief denken, bespreken we in dit artikel dat creativiteit niet alleen een zaak is van het hoofd maar ook van het lichaam en van de omgeving. In die leeromgeving spelen leerkrachten een cruciale rol. We gaan in op de wederkerige relatie tussen creativiteit en motivatie bij leerlingen en de autonomie-ondersteuning door leerkrachten om het creatieve denken en handelen van leerlingen in de kunsteducatie te stimuleren. We bespreken zowel de verbale als de non-verbale aspecten van het ondersteunen van de creatieve autonomie van leerlingen. Vervolgens maken we aan de hand van praktische voorbeelden de vertaling naar de onderwijspraktijk. Tot slot doen we aanbevelingen voor de beroepspraktijk en de lerarenopleidingen.

Handleiding – Erkennen en waarderen van het werken met digitale en open leermaterialen

In de HAN visie op digitale leermaterialen worden 4 hoofdactiviteiten beschreven die nodig zijn om te komen tot de ambitie die de HAN heeft op het gebied van digitale en open leermaterialen. Eén van deze hoofdactiviteiten betreft “Stimuleren”. Daarbij gaat het zowel om stimulering van het thema digitale leermaterialen op de HAN als wel het motiveren van HAN-medewerkers om aan de slag te gaan met digitale leermaterialen in hun onderwijs. Dit framework is hiertoe een eerste aanzet. In een blog wordt het framework verder toegelicht.
