Sign up for the course didactics for Continuing Education
Universities, in addition to education for initial students, also have Continuing Education as their task. Education for (external) professionals requires a certain design and supervision. In order to support EWUU lecturers in the (further) development of this type of education and to learn from each other, the alliance partners offer the course 'Didactics for Continuing Education’. This course is taught in Dutch as well as English, at different locations and is open to participants from other universities.
You register for module 1. If you need further translation to your own CE, you can then register for the rest of the course:
Module 1:
In module 1, vision on CE and characteristics of appropriate CE didactics are central. We first discuss what the organization and what you yourself want to achieve with CE. The main part of the meeting, we spend on the characteristics of didactics for CE. Does this differ from didactics for initial students, and how? With each participant there is a short online/telephone intake interview.

Participants who want to make the translation to their own CE can decide to take the whole course. After module 1 you can choose between module 2 and 3 (or both). Module 4 is followed by everyone.
Module 2:
Module 2 focuses on the design of CE. How do you design CE in concordance with the needs and characteristics of professionals? How do you ensure that CE can be beneficial for yourself or your department? Module 2 consists of a meeting and workshop assignments in which there is room for personal learning goals, working on your own material/method of working with CE, individual coaching and collegial consultation.

Module 3 focuses on supervising CE. Which guidance style fits the needs and characteristics of professionals? What difficult situations can you encounter in CE groups and how do you deal with them? Module 3 consists of a meeting and workshop assignments in which there is room for personal learning goals, working on your guiding style for CE, individual coaching and collegial consultation.
