Case Study: Wageningen University & Research boosts student engagement with SURF's Le-Do-Loop teaching method

Wageningen University & Research boosts interactive online learning with SURF in 3 years

Wageningen University & Research (WUR) lecturer Agnes Berendsen faced the challenge of minimal student engagement and a lack of interactivity in online education, which was primarily focused on sending information. This challenge was especially apparent during the shift to online teaching, making it difficult to realize depth in lessons.

With support from SURF's Open and Online Education Incentive Scheme and inspired by SURF's Presto method, Berendsen and a colleague developed the Le-Do-Loop teaching method. This solution involves students working in groups to prepare and teach lessons to their peers, with the lecturer acting as a coach. SURF's support helped make this method accessible to others via a template. The result was a significant increase in student motivation, insight, and interaction, with highly positive appreciation from students over its three years of use.
