  R.M. Hartog	Succesfull and efficient thesis supervision	In the Bachelor's program in Communication Science, students often work in teams during project-based courses. Teamwork can lead to challenges that require more time and guidance than currently feasible for instructors. Therefore, we developed our own AI avatar that allows students to practice giving peer-to-peer feedback on collaboration.
  G. Buijtenweg	Virtual Reality and collaborative learning in anatomy courses	In the Bachelor's program in Human Movement Sciences, students study the musculoskeletal system in the course Functional Anatomy using VR headsets, anatomical atlases, and specially developed assignments. Geert Buijtenweg shares his experiences with Virtual Reality, the anatomical program 3D Organon, and the organization and management of VR headsets and software.
  L. Schaap  A. Vaes	Take the first step to Community Service Learning in your education	In the Bachelor's program in Health Sciences, students engage with elderly people in Amsterdam during the course "Geriatrics and Aging." The course uses Community Service Learning (CSL), a form of education that connects students with societal stakeholders. Laura Schaap and Anouk Vaes have extensive experience with CSL and offer concrete tips and ideas to successfully implement CSL in your own teaching.
  A. Smienk	How many steps does it take to enter the lecture hall? (accessibility in education)	The excursion "How many steps do you need to enter the lecture hall?" invites you to explore how you can make your own teaching more accessible. By working with origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, you broaden your perspective and understanding of accessibility in education.
  D. Bakker	Drilling with Virtual Reality	In the Dentistry program, Dirk Bakker, a dentist and lecturer (Digital Dentistry section), uses Virtual Reality. During his classes, students learn to drill using a simulator on a replica of a patient’s teeth. Later, they perform the treatment on the actual patient in the clinic. This allows students to independently and at their own pace acquire the necessary skills within the specific context of the patient. During the excursion, Dirk shares his experiences, offers practical tips and advice on VR education, and lets you try drilling in the simulator at ACTA.
