Teaching methods
The course is structured around 6 themes related to the evidence-based process. You will work on them in a flipped learning way, i.e. each theme is first introduced independently, either by reading the material provided or by watching a recording. You will then participate in an interactive webinar where you will work on the theme together and do a variety of small group activities. During or after the webinar, you will complete a weekly task related to the theme, either individually or in a group. During the course, groups will construct a practice assignment in which the lessons of each theme will be practised and finally the knowledge will be demonstrated in an exam.
During the course, you will do self-assessment, peer assessment in groups and receive feedback from the teacher. Midway through the course, you will have the opportunity to give feedback, which will be used by the teacher to shape the webinars for the final topics.
Student workload
Student load 5op or 135h:
Webinars and preparation (recordings & written material) 27h
Weekly assignments related to themes 1-6 27h
