The Self-Regulated Learning SIG focuses on strengthening the ability of students and teachers to consciously plan, monitor, and evaluate the learning process. the SIG contributes to promoting effective and sustainable learning.

This SIG focuses on the theme of affective learning: the connection between knowledge, personal development and societal impact. Together, we reflect on how best to support students in this area and develop appropriate learning activities and assessment. The SIG is part of Empowered Minds, a collaboration between the IIS and TLC Central.

Assessment is crucial for the university. But: how do we determine whether students meet the programme’s final objectives? How do we do that as accurately, transparently and fairly as possible? And how do we deal with new challenges like GenAI?

This SIG addresses nuanced research on emerging Generative AI technologies in the educational landscape. Here, the focus is on ethical and meaningful applications within education, assessment and learning processes.  

Extended Reality includes technologies such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality and 360-degree video. Members of this SIG are concerned with the deployment of these technologies within education.

The UvA is committed to developing Fair, Resilient & Inclusive Societies that ensure the well-being of all citizens and students. This SIG focuses on education that can contribute to a just and resilient society. 

Higher education classrooms are increasingly diverse, presenting both challenges and benefits. The SIG International Classroom fosters inclusive and dynamic learning environments that celebrate cultural diversity and prepare students to thrive in an interconnected world.

With Scholarship of Teaching & Learning, higher education teachers examine their own teaching practice in a systematic way. As a teacher, you can gain better understanding of your own performance and the learning process of students.

By Impact Learning we mean: education that offers a direct contribution to society. This SIG forms a network with the aim of making Impact Learning more common practice at the UvA. This SIG is organised by Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (IIS).

The Special Interest Group (SIG) Healthy Future Education brings together researchers and educators who focus on innovative education within specific themes related to a healthy future. This SIG is organised by Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (IIS).
