van Helden, G. (author), van der Werf, V. (author), Saunders-Smits, Gillian (author), Specht, M.M. (author)Increasing student numbers in higher education, particularly in engineering and computer science, make it difficult for motivated lecturers to continue engaging in active teaching methods such as Flipped Classrooms and Work-Based Learning. In these settings, digital Peer Assessment can be one approach to provide effective and scalable feedback....review 2023

van Grunsven, J.B. (author), Marin, L. (author), Stone, T.W. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Roeser, S. (author)Moral (or ethical) sensitivity is widely viewed as a foundational learning goal in engineering ethics education. We have argued in this paper is that this view of moral sensitivity cannot be readily transported from the nursing context to the engineering context on the basis of a care-analogy. The particularized care characteristic of the...book chapter 2023
