Chahira Nouira: Use a portfolio to give students space and time to reflect

Chahira Nouira, MSc, is an instructional designer at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen in Germany where she supports lecturers in their use of educational technology and how to incorporate them into their teaching and learning activities.

In this episode, Chahira talks about the support that the instructional design team offers to lecturers, in particular the initiative 'Get[IN]spired' that also fosters connections between lecturers. She then talks about which study programmes use portfolios, including theology, musicology, and forest sciences. Learn how the portfolio delivers benefits to students in them.

Special thanks from Chahira to Natalia Lischer, MA, and Dipl-Ing Christian Fliegner from the Digital Learning and Teaching team at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, whose efforts to support all the university's teaching staff with portfolio work have been remarkable and continue to be very crucial.
