Hybrid rooms

Five rooms in Wijnhaven and three rooms on Anna van Buerenplein are equipped as hybrid rooms. In these rooms, equipment is present which makes it possible for the lecturers, the chair of presentations and/or meetings to remain in contact with all persons in the room as well as those who are participating online. The FLO team provides support for didactic skills to support hybrid education.

At FGGA, we have chosen to use the examination software ANS. This is very user-friendly software that enables lecturers to easily set and check online exams. Using tips and tricks provided by ANS, the FLO team offers lecturers the opportunity to set up an examination according to their own preferences. In addition, Brightspace also offers options and variations for setting online exams. The teaching support tool overview also includes information on ANS.
