Research by TLC

Research makes an important contribution to evidence-informed education at the UvA and provides further development and improvement. Research fellows and other ongoing research projects provide insight into the impact of education innovation and professionalisation and insight in the experiences of teachers and students. Based on the research results, we can further improve UvA education.

Research projects

Blended Education at the UvA
Although the UvA is a campus university, forms of digital education can be combined with face-to-face education. This so called blended education can contribute to richer and innovative learning environments.

Online Education at the UvA
