Teaching Fair: No more boring lectures with Jasmijn Mioch's workshop
The Teaching Fair is coming up again. On Thursday afternoon, 20 June, you can let your colleagues inspire you about educational innovation. In the workshop ‘No more boring lectures’, Jasmijn Mioch will show you how to incorporate interactive workshops in your lectures.
‘We have all sat in a meeting once and thought: will it never end? There's just sending of information, and you’re not allowed to participate,' begins Mioch. ‘So, together with Eddy Bruin, I designed a set of interaction cards, which help every speaker to add interactive elements to a meeting or lecture.’
Choose your own interaction
In the workshop, Mioch gets to work with this by getting participants to hack their own session. ‘After determining the purpose of your session, we get to work with different work forms and interactions. Is your aim to inform people? If so, the white dot might be for you. You tell the audience that some participants have a white dot under their chair. These people have to give a 30-second summary at the end of the session, but no one is allowed to see where the white dots are.’
In total, Mioch has more than 50 interactions you can use. ‘I take them all with me in large format, so participants can walk past them and find what works best for their own question and purpose. So you’re sure to go away with a new idea for your own meeting or lecture.’
