#9 Calvin Rans from TUD Netherlands on blended learning

Welcome to the second episode of Season 2 of the SEFI podcast!In this episode we talk to an innovator of blended learning, Dr Calvin Rans, an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft, where he manages two professional recording studios and supports educators in making novel blended learning experiences for students. He calls himself an 'edutainer', claiming that if learning isn’t fun, you’re doing it wrong. He draws upon his experience in research of aircraft failure to highlight the importance of students learning from failure, and advocates for reflection being part of the learning process.Show notes: https://www.sefi.be/2023/04/17/podcast-season-2-episode-2-european-engineering-educators-is-online/Join Dr Neil Cooke (University of Birmingham) and Dr Natalie Wint (University College London) to learn about how we can design blended learning in a way that best supports engineering students. Thanks to Calvin for 'edutaining' us!Timestamps0.00 Abstract0.28 Podcast Intro0.41 Experiences of blended from Natalie and Neil2.16 Calvin's Background3.53 TU Delft5.08 What is blended learning?6.30 What does a flipped classroom look like?8.51 How has COVID changed Calvin's approach to blended learning?10.30 Obstacles to implementing blended learning approaches13.04 The role of student feedback14.44 How do educators transition from lecturers to coaches?16.40 Student flight data recorders: the role of student reflection19.41 Student buy-in and motivation21.48 The role of story telling and being authentic24.55 being aware of 'external' factors that influence the learning process28.31 Final advice from Calvin32.00 Key takeaways from Natalie and Neil.Resourceshttps://www.calvinrans.com/https://online-learning.tudelft.nl/instructors/calvin-rans/https://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid:634e5166-f92d-4109-8085-0aec758a65f5?collection=researchhttps://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid:3d210691-c985-40e6-9511-1fd61668636c?collection=researchTruby, J.
