Educational initiatives

With the support of their instructional designer, the faculty’s faculty members are increasingly adopting active learning methods to evolve their teaching practices and thereby strengthen students’ engagement in their learning.

Among the ongoing projects based on cognitive neuroscience:

• The implementation of educational serious games in laboratory sessions and lectures/tutorials, with the aim of fostering engagement, understanding, and long-term retention.
• The integration of digital learning modules for the prerequisites for admission to the master’s program.
• Project-based and problem-based learning.
• The use of flipped classrooms for small groups, in order to maximize interaction and knowledge retention.
• The development of immersive hands-on activities that help students understand complex concepts.
• The development of educational projects funded by university initiatives, including, for example, virtual simulations before and after lab sessions, to increase engagement and knowledge retention.
