The Arqus Alliance invites educators to the two upcoming Arqus online workshops on Teaching Innovation. 

These workshops, led by experienced teachers, will focus on specific strategies, methodologies and technologies for active learning, as well as psychological approaches to improving motivation and engagement

They are intended to support Arqus teachers in promoting innovative teaching approaches to make learning more effective and engaging for students.


Collaborative Learning

25 September 2025, 14:00- 16:00 CEST.

Learning is a social process. Cooperation/collaboration in classes can boost student engagement and retention of input and is thus important in improving learning outcomes. This practical session will explain how and why, and at the same time give participants personal experience of a variety of activities that promote effective student-to-student collaboration. The activities can be used in classes of all disciplines and with groups of any size.

Trainer: Jon Wright


Feedback is important, but feedforward is essential

20 November 2025, 14:00 – 16:00 (CET)

Most educators are in the habit of providing students with some kind of feedback on their work and contributions in class. However, there is a big difference between giving feedback on what has happened and making it useful and relevant as a tool for improving students’ performance in future learning activities.

Feedforward adds key elements to traditional feedback so it is future-oriented and an active element in improving students’ performance.

This session will explain what feedforward is and underline why it is a vital companion to feedback. Participants will receive instructions on how to incorporate feedback when teaching in any subject.
