Integrating generative AI models into Higher Education (e.g. ChatGPT)

more info close info

 

"This interactive two-hour workshop offers an exploration into the transformative potential of generative AI in enhancing education in FHML. Designed for course, training, and trajectory coordinators, this workshop begins with a concise introduction to artificial intelligence (AI) in education and the fundamental workings of generative AI with the example of ChatGPT. Participants are then guided through a PBL case, exploring a significant educational challenge and potential AI-facilitated solutions. Using this real-world problem as a constant touchstone, the session delves into the ways AI, and ChatGPT specifically, can revolutionize education, from tutoring support to content creation.

The course pays special attention to the role of ChatGPT in teaching academic writing, illustrating how this AI model can provide feedback, demonstrate writing styles, assist with language translation, and aid in content creation. The integration of ChatGPT into existing PBL frameworks is also discussed, elucidating how this AI tool can boost problem-solving processes.

The workshop culminates with hands-on interaction with ChatGPT, during which participants, working in groups, create and present their solutions to the initial case, leveraging the insights gained from their firsthand experience with ChatGPT. A final Q&A session facilitates a broader discussion about their experiences, the potential of AI in education, and ethical considerations surrounding its use.

Participants are asked to already have aan OpenAI account before the workshop, and to bring any examples or questions they have about this new technology."

Leadership development for course coordinators

more info close info

As a course coordinator at FHML, you are responsible for many different things. Oftentimes, you might feel like a manager who makes sure everything is in place for ‘your’ course: planning, student and teacher instructions, setting deadlines, etc. You might not always be aware that being a course coordinator, also means that you are a leader!

For all course coordinators of FHML bachelor and master programs, the taskforce Faculty Development (Docentprofessionalisering/DocProf) offers the leadership for course coordinators program. The goal of this program is to support course coordinators to improve their leadership qualities, in order to
1) boost the diverse competences in their course planning group members in order to raise the overall quality of the group;
2) increase engagement of both the course coordinator and the course planning group members and by that, their wellbeing;
3) ultimately improve quality of education at FHML.

The program gives insight in your personal leadership style and how you could change the patterns in your course planning group while staying close to who you are. As such, the program strives to make you aware of your leadership views and behavior and develop unique leadership competences for building effective collaborations, using the various individual traits in your course planning group(s).

The starting point for learning are your own leadership experiences, be it in teaching or in research. During the program, ‘learning by doing’ will be the central approach through practicing in simulation, theoretical underpinning, reflection on action, and applying new insights in the daily workplace. Thus, this course is interesting for both experienced and novel course coordinators. The training has now been delivered to 80 teachers, and appeared clearly be of added value. Trainers are an educationalist from Docprof who knows how to train professionals together with an experienced FHML teacher who knows the struggles and challenges of teaching in FHML. 

Key theme and goal per session
Session 1: an educational vision and leadership mission which can be communicated.
Session 2: insight in individual members’ qualities and tools to cope with interpersonal problems.
Session 3: insight in participants’ team interactions and tools to cope with team dynamics.
Session 4: applying situational and engaging leadership to reach ultimate end goals.
Session 5: reflection and evaluation for continuous educational improvement and motivated team members.

Study load, attendance, CPD and accreditation

Please indicate in which study programme (e.g. medicine) you will be mentor in 2023-2024, in the box "your remarks" on the registration form.

For all mentors of FHML bachelor and master students (health sciences, biomedical sciences or medicine/ITM), the taskforce Faculty Development (Docentprofessionalisering/DocProf) offers a mandatory “Mentoring skills course”. This skills course is offered in addition to the (practical/content) sessions your mentor coordinator will offer. Sessions by the mentor coordinator are therefore not interchangeable with the mentoring skills course.

The mentoring skills course exists of 3 times a 3-hour session during this academic year. These sessions will focus on practical situations, intervision and will also provide background information and literature needed to fulfil the mentoring role. Session topics are e.g.: expectation management, setting limits, motivational interviewing, dealing with resistance, reflection and providing actionable feedback.

Completion of this mentor training program will lead to a certificate. For those who are interested in following the Universal Teaching Qualification (UTQ/BKO): the mentor training certificate, combined with the fulfilment of the course “Introductory course in principles of Problem Based Learning” grants conditional access to the UTQ training, as does the tutor training certificate. Please see the Faculty Development course offer brochure or get in touch with the DocProf office for more information on UTQ or Faculty Development in general.

Regular University Teaching Qualification(UTQ)/ Regulier Basis Kwalificatie Onderwijs (BKO)

more info close info

University Teaching Qualification (UTQ)

In order to improve the quality of university education and professional development of their teaching staff, FHML has recognized the - nationally mandatory - University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) and supports teachers in the (further) development of their teaching competences by offering a UTQ programme. Completion of the UTQ programme is mandatory for all teachers with B and C roles at FHML and is recommended for teachers with A roles, researchers, and PhD candidates.

The UTQ can be attained in various ways, depending on the extent to which the UTQ competencies and underlying skills have already been developed and demonstrated. There are three ways to attain a UTQ, of which the UTQ programme is the most common choice:

1. Regular UTQ programme

2. PAC trajectory

3. UTQ exemption

 

1. Regular UTQ programme
 

Study load UTQ programme, teaching hours compensation, and accreditation
Study load varies per participant and includes attending the five compulsory meetings (40 hours), studying literature, applying newly acquired knowledge in practice, coaching (if needed), reflection, and composing the UTQ portfolio.

The department receives 40 teaching hours to compensate for participation in the UTQ meetings. These hours will be granted once the UTQ certificate has been obtained. For PhDs, the UTQ programme is part of their standard training programme and, therefore, the compensation does not apply.

After full participation in the UTQ programme, medical specialists receive 30 credits for general training according to the ABAN registration. The hospital pharmacists (ZA) receive 20 credits through the ZA registration.

Basic requirements
Before you can sign up for the UTQ programme, you must meet the following basic requirements:

- You have an appointment at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences with at least 0.1 fte of teaching.

- Your head of department has agreed upon your participation.

- You have successfully completed the PBL introductory course (Principles of PBL) even when you have studied at Maastrichtuniversity..

- You have successfully completed the small-group teacher training (SGTT), the former tutor ​training, the mentor training, or the CORE training. (Please note that you need to have completed the full CORE training, including the two optional modules about feedback and group dynamics.). 

- You have ample teaching experience. The minimum requirement is that you perform the role of tutor, mentor, CORE trainer, or any other role involving small-group teaching for the second time during the UTQ programme. However, a broader educational experience is preferred for compiling the UTQ portfolio.

- You undertake some teaching activities for practice and reflection while following the UTQ programme. If this is not the case, your head of department should ensure that you can undertake the required educational activities.

Important note: Only courses offered by the taskforce Faculty Development (DocProf) meet the admission requirements.

Enrolment
If you meet the basic requirements, you can sign up for the UTQ programme by filling out the registration form. After registration, you will receive an intake form.

Based on the information on the intake form, it will be decided whether the amount of educational activities you perform is sufficient to start the UTQ programme.

If the intake form is approved, your enrolment will be made final. In case of doubt, you will be invited to discuss the feasibility of the UTQ programme.

Contact
For any inquiries or questions, please contact the UTQ secretariat: doc-prof-fhml@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

 

2. PAC trajectory (EVC)

Based on their previously acquired competences (PACs), teachers with ample teaching experience and/or a teaching qualification other than the UTQ (in combination with a teaching appointment that is equivalent to 0.1 fte) may be eligible for the so-called PAC trajectory. In this trajectory, candidates independently compose their teaching portfolio. Ample teaching experience is considered to be at least 5-10 years of significant teaching activities at higher education institutions.

Basic requirements of the PAC trajectory
Before you can make a request for a PAC trajectory, you must meet the following basic requirements:

- You have an appointment at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences.

- Your head of department has agreed upon your participation.

- You have successfully completed the PBL introductory course (Principles of PBL).

- You have successfully completed the small-group teacher training (SGTT), the former tutor ​training, the mentor training, or the CORE training.  (Please note that you need to have completed the full CORE training, including the two optional modules about feedback and group dynamics.)

Enrolment
If you meet the basic requirements, you can sign up for the UTQ programme by filling out the register form.  After registration, you will receive an intake form for composing a portfolio.

The PAC trajectory
You can start the PAC trajectory at any time. During the PAC trajectory, you will independently compose a portfolio with thorough reflections on the development of your core teaching competences and underlying skills, based on your experiences in educational practice. Your reflections are supported by evidence and educational literature. The PAC trajectory ends with an assessment of your portfolio during a meeting in which you have the opportunity to explain the content of your portfolio.

The duration of the PAC trajectory depends on the amount of time you want to put in composing your UTQ portfolio. As soon as you decide your portfolio is complete and ready for assessment, you can submit the portfolio via doc-prof-fhml@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

Teaching hours compensation
The department receives no teaching hours to compensate for participation in the PAC trajectory because it is assumed that, based on the educational experiences the teacher has, s/he is able to compose a UTQ portfolio with relatively limited effort.

Contact
For any inquiries or questions, please contact Doc-prof-fhml@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

 

3. UTQ exemption

As of January 1, 2022, no exemptions for the UTQ are granted anymore. If you have sufficient teaching competencies or a teaching qualification other than the UTQ, you can apply for the PAC/EVC trajectory (see above). Please note that acquiring the UTQ is more beneficial than an exemption because the UTQ is valid at every Dutch university (as well as three Flemish universities: Antwerp, Leuven, and Hasselt), whereas an exemption is not.
