Our Work in Action
Since launching in 2023, LLInC has pioneered a portfolio of dynamic projects, showcasing our multifaceted capabilities and impact in the field. Examples of our work include:
- Facilitating workshops for faculty staff on integrating podcasting into education.
- Developing an augmented reality module to enhance medical students' proficiency in ultrasound scanning techniques with LUMC.
- We hosted a workgroup for educators at the faculty of Social Sciences on how to develop a blended learning strategy
- Enriching the 'Gedrag: (G)een Probleem' virtual reality program with additional scenarios, enabling hands-on practice for working with patients with dementia.
- Designing the interactive learning experience Family Dinner for the Institute of Psychology; to gamify the understanding and use of academic concepts such as bias, logic and argumentation fallacies.
- We have hosted events and advised several parties on the impact and ethical considerations of generative AI in education, promoting an understanding of its benefits and limitations.
- We started the development for an interactive e-learning module for the Faculty of Science, focusing on health and safety protocols through engaging animations, enhancing the traditional in-person training.
- A mobile 3D scanning project was initiated for classroom integration, providing a cost-effective and scalable method for the use of 3D models in archaeology education.
- To support LUMC in guiding students during their transition from being a student to entering the labour market, we started producing a documentary series to guide students in making informed choices in their medical career, highlighting the diversity of opportunities beyond academic hospitals.
- Being part of the European consortium XR4Human, we advise on the legal and ethics obligations related to implementing extended reality technologies in education.
- For the Molecular Science and Technology program, we examined the progress of students in the online matching course for prospective students. Based on analytics of Brightspace data combined with a heuristic evaluation of the learning experience, we provided recommendations for improvements on course design aspects such as visibility, course duration, progress indication and navigation improvements.
- In collaboration with ICLON, we supported the International Studies program in understanding student learning behaviors to inform pedagogical strategies using data from Brightspace and other tools in the digital learning environment.
- We integrate digital learning tools into the university teaching qualification modules, enriching educational activities and making it easier for educators to adopt new technologies.
