Coordinator Nick Adriaans reasoned that assessing applications for a minor abroad anonymously would lead to a fairer and more inclusive selection process. Together with Elly Song and other colleagues at Fontys, they conducted a pilot to see how it works.
At Fontys and TU/e, job coaches guide students with additional needs in finding a suitable job up to one year after graduation.
Are you a caregiver? Still busy at home caring for someone else and it sometimes becomes too much? Fontys offers help in various ways, Nicole Vissers and Katja Keuning tell us.
New technologies enable you to learn in and from situations that normally are not possible. Indeed, they add something to 'reality.' At Fontys, there have already been plenty of experimentation with this.
Fontys cherishes its open character. But that does require everyone to deal 'securely' with the pile of data we work with, says Frans Möhring, P and O-director and principal of the Information Security program. How do we do that?
At more and more higher education programs, students graduate with 'learning outcomes' or 'professional products'. Fontys International Business School is also starting a pilot. Marieke Brinkman: 'We want our students to be able to offer real added value in the industry.'
Where does Teacher of the Year Susan Becker's enthusiasm come from and how does she continue to develop? 'I keep diving back into the profession and the books.'
Floor Jansen of P and O: 'Make your own development or that of your team a subject of discussion, is my advice. It will bring you and your team a lot.'
The pros and cons of the binding study advice for first-year students are subjects of great debate. Fontys is going to abolish the bsa and Rosemarie Moonen explains why.
Students who keep up the pretence that they are studying, when in fact they are not (anymore). In the media and within Fontys, there is increasing attention for the phenomenon of the 'pretend student'. Welfare coach Kelly Kuijpers and student dean Monique Schouten are committed to breaking the taboo on this subject.
