In a rapidly evolving academic landscape, how can educators prepare students for a future that is constantly changing?

In this session, Esperanza Rivera de Torre, Assistant Professor at DTU (Technical University of Denmark), shares insights from her teaching in engineering and life sciences and explains how redesigning a large university course around active learning, peer feedback, and structured interaction led to measurable improvements in student engagement, confidence, and performance. 

Moving beyond traditional lecture formats, this webinar explores how short teaching cycles, embedded quizzes, and interactive tools can transform passive audiences into active learners — while also generating meaningful data to inform teaching decisions. Drawing on real classroom examples and evaluation outcomes, the session highlights practical approaches educators can adopt to create more responsive, student-centred learning experiences across disciplines.
