Category: Pilot 3

Pilot 3 was held during the second semester of the academic year 2021-22. Students from Amsterdam, Lisbon, and Barcelona participated. It was the first pilot where some of the students could travel and meet the other city areas and students.
Students’ focus was better during pilot 1 compared to pilot 3. We suspect this had to do with the lockdown and the fact that during pilot 3 there was more distraction in non-curriculum-related activities. The launch event in pilot 3 was hybrid as students from Amsterdam traveled to Barcelona. This did not work. The sense of time is different. The online group is waiting for something to happen, students in the live group were talking together and did not connect with the online group. So for the final congress in pilot 3 in Amsterdam, students and lecturers decided that everyone went online, also the groups from Amsterdam and Barcelona, which were both live in Amsterdam.

In the upper menu, you can find information about the different meetings: the Launch, the Midterm Conference, and the Final Congress.
Below there are some posts or articles written by the students about the anchor points that they mapped in this Pilot.

Evaluation
Improving the tools.
Went well – Student Hub now worked very well. Which was very important to get information to students in time.
Less sprints and do-dates were used during the semester: two do-dates before the end presentation.
Challenges were: the different cultures, different styles of learning, different support tools per university, different teaching schedules, and the hybrid (live and online) launch.
