The IIS challenges all UvA students to help think about how education can best be organised, what topics and teaching methods should be covered and what role students and lecturers play in this. With the UvA Create a Course Challenge, students are challenged to think outside the box about how education can be fun, challenging and meaningful.
With this challenge, IIS wants students to play an active role in influencing the way education is carried out at the Institute and thus within the UvA. With the Create a Course Challenge, students get the chance to realise their vision of education.
Crossing boundaries is what this challenge is all about: Not only between students and lecturers and between faculties and disciplines, but also cooperation between academia and society. When developing your subject, think out of the box and from different disciplines.
