Via knowledge clips
“transfer of knowledge, like basic
theoretical knowledge”
Through instruction clips
“students learn the skills to work with,
and create concept maps”
Interactivity between students-students and
teacher-students
“via the creation and evaluation of
conceptual mind maps”

4. COURSE DESIGN
• Prior to the course
• Knowlegde and instruction clips
• literature
• 1st week two live lectures
• Introduction to the course
• The functionality of concept maps in the
course
2nd till 4th week
1. Two interactive lectures a week, plus extra
knowledge clips for the next week
2. Students work in groups on description of
concepts
3. Later on they create concept maps by making
connections between concepts

7. FEEDBACK OF STUDENTS
Feedback
"Pleasant way of working shape, long lectures are less efficient“
“the creation of concept maps is enlightening“
“to work in teams inspire me to create the best concept map“
“this method give me the opportunity to look from a different angle to the articles“
Suggestions
"Why not the combination of a live lecture and one interactive concept map lecture a
week?“
"It would be nice if, prior to the exam, a summary of the most important elements are given
by the teacher via a live lecture"

8. WHAT DID WE LEARN
• We did learn from the feedback of students
• In next versions we will organise the feedback at the beginning of
interactive lectures (the first 15 minutes)
• At the end of the course we will organise a live webinar to give
students information about the most important elements
• For the teacher it was very intensive to
• analyze the quality of the created maps
• work with this interactive method for the
first time
