Education at the AUAS has the approach of 'blended learning', a well-considered and purposeful mix of online and physical means within a fully-fledged physical and digital learning environment.

Quality education does not happen by chance – just like other types of product development, it involves a design process. Designing the education you offer provides you with a trajectory and framework for its development and implementation.

A programme of study aims to train students to the defined final qualifications. Each module contributes to this; by establishing learning outcomes it becomes clear how. The learning outcomes guide the didactics, learning activities and assessment within the module.

How do your students demonstrate they have achieved the learning outcomes? How do you test in a fair (objective, valid) and reliable way? And how do you ensure that students do not just learn to pass a test, but also to further their development? This requires good test design.

At AUAS, we find it important to educate students in accordance with the latest developments in science and in professional practice. Where do you find these sources?

‘Learning is a verb’, so what are students meant to do? This is the question to ask when developing learning activities. Which activities help students achieve the intended learning outcomes and objectives?

Quality education takes place in a structured, well-designed learning environment, both offline and online. The learning environment influences students’ motivation and enables them to take responsibility for their own learning process.

Evaluations are student feedback on teaching. Just as feedback is used in teaching to enhance learning, evaluations can be used to improve teaching.
