Often there are broad differences in the skills and knowledge of students within a course. The diversity creates challenges for both the students and the teachers. On the one hand, students can feel uncomfortable because they are lacking the necessary skills to follow lectures and materials. On the other hand, teachers may have a hard time maintaining attention in class and keeping a comfortable learning environment for all students without losing the initial course objective out of sight.
On Tuesday October 22, 2024, Grasple hosted a webinar designed as a peer-to-peer experience dealing with the concept of "Brush Up Courses" and how to bridge knowledge gaps to empower students. Brush Up Courses are targeted refresher modules designed to help students reinforce foundational knowledge or fill in specific gaps. By offering these courses, educators can ensure that all students have the essential knowledge they need to succeed, regardless of their starting point.
In this webinar, Dr Fulya Kula from University of Twente joined us as expert speaker sharing her research insights and experience on setting up and integrating bridging courses within the curriculum.
