| From classroom to coastline: Nature-based learning in Honours College |
In the Honours College course Climate, Sustainability and Wellbeing, students do more than just sit in a lecture hall. They explore climate and sustainability themes by linking them to personal experiences in the heart of nature. For example, by sailing on a ship on the Wadden Sea.

| Entering your own questions in Ans? Check the updated manual! |
The Digital Testing team (DT) has released a new version of the Ans manual: Digital Assessment with Ans @ FSW. The updated manual should make it easier for teachers to enter questions into Ans themselves. Just give it a try! Entering your own questions is more efficient and less prone to errors than having DT copy the questions from Word. Another advantage is that you have more time to prepare your exam. The deadline for entering your own questions is two weeks before the exam, instead of four weeks when DT enters them. |

| New lockdown browser for digital testing |
| As of this academic year, Leiden University has a new, improved lockdown browser for exam security: Schoolyear. Schoolyear can be used for both Chromebook and BYOD exams to prevent students from working outside of Ans. The digital testing team will set up the integration; as a lecturer, you do not need to do anything. From now on, students will receive information about using Schoolyear at the start of each block. |

Streamline your assessments with a rubric. A rubric is a table in which you precisely define the criteria for each level based on the learning objectives. This has many advantages: by sharing the rubric in advance, you can clearly communicate to students what is expected of them. Afterwards, you can justify and explain your assessments. Also: you can mark work with multiple teachers according to the same criteria.
In Brightspace, you can use rubrics in various ways to assess assignments. >> Read more

The FSW Teacher Platform FSW is the place to go for information about teaching at FSW. At the start of the academic year, the section on Organising Education can be particularly useful. Here you can refresh your knowledge about web lectures, Brightspace, TimeEdit, timetables, enrolments... All very essential!
