Educational innovation provides both opportunities and challenges for lecturers. How do you put your innovative ideas into practice or how do you choose the right learning resources for your teaching? From now on, lecturers can go for support and inspiration to the new Leiden Learning & Innovation Centre (LLInC), a merger between the Centre for Innovation (CfI) and the higher education department of the ICLON (Leiden University Graduate School of Teaching).
We asked a lot of everyone last year. The Personnel Monitor showed that the workload was high in 2022 and Covid took its toll. I therefore think everyone deserves some downtime. Time away from the daily grind.
A new year, a new department! As of this month, the Centre for Innovation (CFI) and ICLON Higher Education teams have merged to become LLInC: Leiden Learning & Innovation Centre.
The English-language interdisciplinary minor ‘AI and Society’ explores the role of artificial intelligence in our society. The interdisciplinary nature of the minor is proving beneficiary for students and lecturers alike. We sit in during a class.
The results of the Personnel Monitor 2022 are out. Now the ball is in all of our courts. What does the Monitor tell us and how can we act on it? I hope that as an organisation we can get a good dialogue going as the first step towards improvement.
In our new Strategic Plan, we indicate how we will give shape to good employment practice in the years ahead. Topics such as ‘social safety’, the staff workload and personal development are important in this respect. One aspect of good employment practice is providing permanent contracts for structural work, long-term contracts for temporary employment and greater clarity about development options and career paths.
