Innovation Room #5: Research on student success in campus-based and online learning environments

Start date
End date

With the continuous focus that the universities of Leiden, Delft and Erasmus Rotterdam put on evidence based interventions to improve education, research in the area is blooming within the three universities. The goal of this Innovation Room is to share the newest insights and find ways to apply these in practice. CEL therefore looks forward to meet a large variety of people form teachers to researchers, from educational experts to policymakers and many others.

You will be informed on the main conclusions of multiple studies during short 10 minute pitch presentations to keep focus on the core of the findings and possible implications. The studies presented cluster around three main topics: Motivation & Study Success, Online Learning and Assessment & Grading. During lunch the researchers are available for round table discussions on the three topics to dive deeper into what the findings mean for university teaching and learning.
