Living Education Lab

Structure of the minor

This LDE Minor combines the domains of design thinking and technology-enhanced learning and teaching with interdisciplinary group work. You are guided through your individual learning path towards skilled educational innovators and researchers who know their way in the worlds of Education, Technology and Design and are able to apply this knowledge in educational practice. In a multidisciplinary group you will face real-life challenges you have to solve considering all important aspects of three domains involved.

The minor consists of two courses:

• Living Education Lab – the Basics (15 EC)

• Living Education Lab: Building a Challenge Solution (15 EC)

Watch this video presentation LDE-CEL minor: Living Education Lab for a short introduction of the minor.
