Teaching & Learning Centre - EB
Teaching & Learning Centre EB
The EB Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC-EB) is the go-to expertise hub for lecturers to share knowledge, enhance teaching skills, and innovate education. Explore new teaching techniques, tools, and opportunities to strengthen your lessons when designing or renewing your courses.
With your subject expertise and guidance, you help students become critical, independent, and compassionate thinkers. You develop education that equips your students with the knowledge and skills they need to prepare for the future.
Your development as a lecturer is just as important. Whether you are just starting out or have been teaching for years, our programmes, courses, and workshops help you excel in teaching, develop educational leadership, and conduct research on your own teaching practice. Development and innovation are things we do together—with your colleagues and with us.
Teacher development
The Teaching and Learning Centre EB (TLC-EB) offers a wide range of courses tailored to your experience, helping you strengthen your teaching knowledge and skills.
You can also request customised support or individual coaching by emailing tlc-eb@uva.nl. The UvA Teaching & Learning Centres support the ongoing development of programmes through various initiatives.

Knowledge sharing
On this page, you’ll find inspiring stories and events from colleagues who share the educational practices they use in their teaching — through short videos or interviews. Get inspired or join one of the TLC-EB events.
TLC-EB organises several annual events and knowledge-sharing sessions focused on improving education. These gatherings centre on sharing knowledge and exchanging expertise on current educational topics.
Would you like to share your own educational practice? Get in touch at tlc-eb@uva.nl.
Innovation
The UvA TLC network offers a range of resources to help lecturers and programmes drive educational innovation. You can innovate, for example, with the support of the UvA TLC Education Grants or through programmes such as the Visible Learning Trajectories programme.
You can also make use of tools like the Transition Makers Toolbox and facilities such as the TLC co-creation Rooms.
Research
Research into teaching at the UvA plays a key role in enhancing the quality of education. That’s why TLC-EB promotes and supports a strong research culture within its own teaching activities. This happens through different forms of educational research, often in collaboration with other UvA departments.
Together, these studies contribute to evidence-informed education — where lecturers base not only their subject content but also their teaching approaches on scientific research.
