Breaking down the classroom walls: Engaging student teams across time and space

As teachers within the ENLIGHT network and beyond are driving an educational innovation in which diverse, interdisciplinary and international teams of students collaborate to solve complex, real-world problems, the reality of everyday teaching and learning within university walls pose certain challenges.

How do we ensure self-directed learning and ownership of learning in these courses, even when students are not in the same room? Eric Mazur will illustrate how he transitioned his team- and project-based course during and after the pandemic. And what you can do to make it work.
