Teaching

In Juli 2019, I started as a teacher in the HBO-ICT programme at Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (CHE). My main activities concern development, research, tutoring, instructing, coaching and grading of the essential and fundamental courses in all years of the study program. As the HBO-ICT programme has only recently been adopted and implemented by CHE, the programme has been offered to the students starting in the year 2018. My work is with a very unique, dynamic and within an enthusiastic team that aims to improve and build fresh courses, that are closely related to a large variety of companies in the area, that are prospecting for highly qualified employees.

In the first year, my role in the team has resulted in the following achievements:
