Lifelong learning is exploring and enjoying
In my blog “Success in study and career highly depends on grit” I wrote “21st Century skills sound to me as a hollow phrase. Many of these skills have been important since ages!” Lifelong learning is such a skill that … Continue reading
The magic of an Unconference on Impact-Focused Education
Mid July I received a personal invitation to join an “Impact-Focused Education Unconference” at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. I was skeptic about the unconference with its wordings of “unplanning” and “unorganisation”, but decided to discover new pathways toward innovative best … Continue reading
Can staff competencies sufficiently be enhanced through Kaizen?
Today’s higher engineering education faces an existential crisis. The changing world of work, the blurring of boundaries between disciplines and between industry and academic boundaries, the rise of continuous learning, the evolving globalisation and digital behaviour, and the increasing international … Continue reading
Will these conspicuous statements in TU Delft’s Vision on Education 2018-2024 fuel any change?
