Game Development with Students

The project Game Development with Students introduces interested educators to an innovative teaching tool with practical insights from the international relations classroom. Game development with students is a specialized form of game-based and project-based learning. It incentivizes both student creativity and in-class student-teacher co-creation and enables a particularly participative and result-oriented approach to the subject matter. The method is thematically flexible enough to travel across different fields of study and is adaptable to different levels of complexity. To enable other educators to implement this innovative teaching tool, we develop instructional materials (an educators handbook as well as educational videos), providing both general information on the experiential, game-based learning theory undergirding the method as well as practical, hands-on tips and trick on how to implement it in different educational settings. In doing so, we address the important, interconnected educational challenges of the transferability and sustainability of teacher developed tools.

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.

Byzantium & Friends | 147. How the ninety percent experienced the Roman economy, with Kim Bowes Thursday Jan 01, 2026

A conversation with Kim Bowes (University of Pennsylvania) about her recent book, Surviving Rome: The Economic Lives of the Ninety Percent (Princeton University Press 2025), which presents a brilliant new model of the Roman imperial economy, specifically for how the majority of the population experienced it. We talk about the skeletal evidence, monetization, affluence and precariousness, and levels of consumption. This is only a taste of the many exciting new arguments made in the book, which all of you should go read.

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.

The Matter of Hospitals

This book invites readers to discover never-before-told stories of hospitals through an unusual assortment of materials, offering a unique and timely glimpse into one of society’s most feared, essential, and sensorially rich institutions. Hospitals, with their distinctive smells, acute pain, births, writhing bodies, incessant beeping, endless waiting, cardboard food and never-ending corridors, have fascinated writers for centuries. Edited by the prize-winning author of A Sensory Education and Making Sense of Medicine, this book shares a never-before-told story of hospitals through an unusual collection of objects. A great deal that matters happens in hospitals – from new life to the end of life. There is also a great deal of matter, in its material form, within hospitals. Sometimes there is too much: when we see the mountains of clinical waste with dirty syringes and used gloves. Sometimes there is too little: when we saw empty pharmacy shelves during the pandemic. More often, matter circulates in ways that are taken for granted, invisible yet critical to how hospitals function. Each essay in this book takes the matter of hospitals as a starting point to explore broader themes. Organised alphabetically, The Matter of Hospitals investigates what we can learn from the institution’s materiality about creativity, waste, patient care, community, attention and design. From ‘A’ for atmosphere to ‘Z’ for zips, each essay is a close sensory study of what seem, on the surface, to be mundane things. Beautifully illustrated with artistic photographs and hand-drawn illustrations by the editor, The Matter of Hospitals offers an inspiring and unique examination of the stuff that so many of us take for granted, in a place that we never do.
