Seminar for the National Leaders

Yesterday and today, I participate in a seminar for all the national leaders of the program of social education. We have discussed exam, quality, interaction with R&D, study-load and accreditation. Now, an interesting discussion about new innovative exams is going on.  I think it is important that we offer the students a wide variation in the types of exams.

Yesterday, I made a presentation based on my experience with the interaction between researchers, lectures and students in higher education. Some of the leaders could recognize the potentials and problems I described. Some of them could not. Some were engaged in the discussions. Some of them looked as if the educational practice I presented was fare away from their practice. However, for me it was a good reflection exercise.

The seminar was held at Hotel Billund, so I have enjoyed two days in a setting with lego bricks all over. In the reception, in the restaurant, in the bedroom and also in the ladies room you will find lego bricks in creative variations.
