Fostering Collaborative Learning in Higher Engineering Education

Are you interested in Collaborative Learning in higher engineering education? Whether you're an educator, support staff, or student, if you already use innovative methods that foster collaborative learning—or want to explore how they can boost inclusion, motivation, and critical thinking—this is for you!

Join us for two exploratory meetings designed to inspire and connect individuals across the TU Delft. Our aim is to set a fertile ground for a potential network on the topic - a hub for co-creation, knowledge-sharing, and the development of practical solutions.

What do we mean by Collaborative Learning?

Collaborative Learning is about learning with and from each other through reflection. It enhances student success, fosters inclusion, and builds lifelong learning skills for both students and educators. From teamwork and project-based courses to community engagement and interdisciplinary learning, collaborative approaches strengthen critical thinking, motivation, and a sense of belonging.

Why do we plan those meetings?

We invite you join us and give your insights on the topic of Collaborative Learning at TU Delft. By leveraging the Teaching Academy’s central role, we aim to connect people, projects, and initiatives in this area, and lay the groundwork for future activities that align with your unique interests and challenges. We hope to go beyond exchanging knowledge to create and develop solutions together.

What to expect in these two sessions?  These meetings aim to bring forth diverse viewpoints and practices on this topic, bringing together individuals in a safe space where you can share, experiment, learn from each other’s efforts and develop solutions to foster inclusion and collaborative learning in higher engineering education. 

  • Meeting 1, Monday 31st of March: Connect with others on the topic and share personal experiences. We will dive into enablers and challenges of Collaborative Learning and how these impact educator and student success.

  • Meeting 2, Monday 7th of April: Collaboratively brainstorm ideas, develop potential solutions and discuss pathways to achieve personal goals and shared ambitions.
