Arqus Teaching Innovation aims at upscaling the support for teachers in promoting innovative learning, teaching and assessment approaches for more effective and engaged student learning. It seeks to stimulate innovation in teaching and learning in multiple contexts and learning spaces, both inside and outside the classroom.
The Alliance is committed to innovative teaching methodologies through an extensive staff development programme, by facilitating innovative learning, teaching and assessment materials, and by promoting excellent teaching.
The Arqus Teaching Quality Commons were created to promote a common understanding of quality teaching and learning, considering that every university within the Arqus Alliance has its unique traditions, specializations, and therefore also its specific understanding of excellent teaching.
The Arqus Teaching Excellence Awards is an initiative that honours teachers of all disciplines at one of the Arqus universities and celebrates examples recognized as excellent and innovative in the context of university teaching.
The Arqus Teaching Innovation Fund supports innovative projects in teaching and learning across Arqus member institutions, fostering international collaboration, and promoting excellence in education. With up to €3000, the fund encourages the development of education projects that enhance student learning experiences and address societal challenges. The fund is open to teams of teachers and students from at least two Arqus universities.
The Arqus Alliance invites teachers to participate in a series of online workshops aimed at supporting this community in promoting innovative teaching approaches.
