Abstract—In 2020 all over Europe
remote education became the new normal when due to the Covid-19 pandemic many
had to study and work from home. The new situation with an immediate switch to
online learning was unprecedented. It was a year of change – never before were
so many learners and staff exposed to online learning and teaching. As the
lockdowns begin to lift, we wonder: What will learning and teaching look like
in higher education in post-lockdown Europe? One thing seems certain: the
future of higher education is blended – a well-thought out integration of
online and face- to-face learning and teaching. It will not happen overnight,
and it may be an iterative or even messy and highly unequal process. In this
paper we explore the optimal blend between online and face to face learning and
teaching. Starting at the course level, we consider the essentials of online
learning and face-to-face teaching, and contrast and balance them to understand
trade-offs. We then explore and distil the implications for policy and
decision-making. We approach blended learning through a pedagogical lens. What
is the optimum blend? Educational quality and access to education are two
recurring themes in our discussion. The world has been turned upside down over
the past year – it is going to take a long time before things normalize. It
makes little sense to provide recommendations at this point in time. Instead we
flag several long-term risks, and formulate pertinent questions, to guide
thinking and decision-making on the ways we may learn and teach in
post-lockdown Europe. With the objective to inform decision-making as blended
learning rolls out incrementally in the coming months and years.

SENIOR PROJECTLEAD FAIR4DLM Npuls / SURF

Client: Npuls under the secretary of the IT cooperation Surf

STUDIOBLENDED is currently working as an independent senior project lead for the FAIR4DLM project of Npuls/Surf, as a duo assignment. FAIR4DLM is about implementing the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Recycable) to digital and open learning materials (Dutch: Digitale Leermiddelen - DL). 





FAIR principles are gaining momentum in Europe (see e.g. JRC). The FAIR principles put specific emphasis on enhancing the ability of machines to automatically find and use the data, in addition to supporting its reuse by individuals. FAIR focuses mostly on describing digital objects and technical and juridical accessibility and user possibilities.



FAIR DLM is a pragmatic approach that does justice to the character of learning materials, without letting go of the heart of ‘FAIR’. Have a look at the catalogue&#38;nbsp;Edusources to get an idea.&#38;nbsp;
As STUDIOBLENDED we take the angle of the teacher.


The current trend towards a greater amount of Open Access materials using DOIs (a unique Digital Object Identifyer) is today becoming more the norm whereby academic professionals receive greater recognition not only for their research, but also for their teaching. 
Among the challenges is to operate needs-based: what problems do teachers/lecturers have that FAIR solves? And: how can we ensure continuity, and that learning materials are truly used well beyond subsidy cycles?


FAIR reflects a value-based approach to learning materials.&#38;nbsp;Our projects have inherent built in value that encourages people to find and use (digital) learning materials. There is also a conscious effort to break the monopoly of publishers on access to learning materials, and end perverse incentives. FAIR is not automatically ‘open’, but they are definitely related through the open science principle “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”.



As part of our advisory and project leadership, we work collaboratively with a technical expert on meta data who is the senior projectleader of the overall work package. We work with universities, universities of applied sciences (HBO) and vocational education (MBO).

STUDIOBLENDED worked on the realisation of a MOOC with an institute for capacity development within a European University. The challenge for this client was transforming the scope of the 4 year research program, into a playful, light yet engaging 10 hour MOOC learning journey. 



MOOCs combine the cutting edge scientific research and an accessible multimedia format in order to disseminate the programs’ outcomes and outputs to learners worldwide. As part of our advisory and training work, we set up several intensive Design Studios to arrive at the technical curriculum design. From there, a design journey with the client, through co-creation, lead us to the eventual end product. 

The content scoping done involves an entire research team led by a professor and deputy director. The assignment involves aligning a multi-layered multi-stakeholder environment.Moreover, we scoped platforms for the MOOC across Europe, to offer the best advice to the client on their choice for hosting the MOOC sustainably.

—
STUDIOBLENDED joined the academic teaching team of MSc Metropolitan Analysis Design and Engineering (MADE) at the Amsterdam Institute for Metropolitan Studies (AMS) to kick-off the new academic year. MSc MADE was founded some 8 years ago. Working closely with the program director we asked how can it remain relevant and cutting-edge well into the coming years?



Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc) delivered a keynote and group exercise around strategizing and envisioning 'big ideas' in the Master's curriculum - she championed ways to continually  simplify and innovate. 



Following the workshop the teaching team reported more alignment around  the big ideas of the AMS/MADE educational program - and how these are evolving.

“It was inspiring and fruitful [for me as participant]. I realised a course has baseline building blocks versus the trends and hypes that come and go. I realised where to invest in most. I am taking this further for my own field for sure.”

Instead of themes we would have grouped in a very concrete manner, it was all much more layered and strategic. Much more academic than I expected - for the good. We identified undercurrents, hypes and baselines and all in all created much more depth. 
It was really useful to look at our program like this - the graphical output we received, shows rising and declining lines that require attention - which words/concepts are we going to use, and which aspects do we need to adjust in the background?
Merely producing some themes with the team would have been irrelevant to me - what we did now, truly gets us further in the coming year as we reimagine the program. I got what i needed.”

STUDIOBLENDED was invited to partner up in the Institute for Water Education (IHE-Delft)/Urban Design Climate Workshop (UDCW) - to strenghten the delivery of the workshop. The challenge was to meaningfully include the Master students, into the larger mutiplyer event.
The session led by Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc), created a playground - a Japanese Future Design Experiment - in which the 20 Master level students, entered into a dialogue with imaginary future generations of students to collaboratively design an interdisciplinary curriculum of the future of flood risk in Rotterdam. 
The resulting future curriculum design - was first created hands-on, on the wall, and then taken in digital form into the mutiplyer event. This event centered on imagination at work - design thinking for Climate Action.The outcome is future literacy, adaptability, exploratory thinking (see Joint Research Centre 2022, the European Sustainability Competence Framework), and gaining a better handle on paradigm shifts, the X-curve for transition - and youth voice.For more, see our events page.—

STUDIOBLENDED came alongside the course coordinator of the
longest running short course at IHS/Erasmus University in its 105th edition. It went from being a 6 months course, to a 3 months and this year even a 5 weeks course for the first time. Our core challenge here was tailoring and condensing a wealth of content into a well balanced course that upheld the long standing reputation for quality .





 

Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc) gave advice on the simplification of the content, the modular approach, and on the schedule. Special attention was given to the  lecturers as this took the lionshare of the time and budget. Given the demanding format the human resilience of the course coordinator was critical.
Result: The course coordinator and lecturers are enabled to teach with clarity, allowing participant learning to take centre stage. The coordinator gained insight and skills in how to effectively interact with lecturers on how their session fits within a certain module and the overall body of knowledge of the course. Through that the coordinator was equipped to  maximize the impact of the lectures on the learning curve of the participants.—Client Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) of Erasmus University, Rotterdam.—

“So often, course coordinators are seen as just administrative and logistic
coordinators, handling all the participants, schedules, lecturers, excursions,
solving issues etc.
After 6 years of running the same course as a coordinator, I felt I was getting
weary, and wondered: is there anything fresh and new, that I myself can still
learn?
By starting to work with the Studio’s open-building framework for the big ideas
of the course – and communicating with clarity to each and every lecturer which
learning objectives I wanted them to focus on in their sessions – suddenly I
was back firmly in the content seat. I am now the CEO of this course: advising
the lecturers, how their session contribute to the whole of the body of
knowledge of the course. I feel so much more acknowledged as a course
coordinator that gives direction to the content of the course, and receive very
positive reactions from all involved.Along the way, Tikvah advised and equipped me how to simplify the course, by doing less actually, so that participants learn more – and it actually set free significant new budget.”

STUDIOBLENDED led a Participatory Action Research (PAR) during an event in the largest citizen-consultation ever held in Europe, the Conference on the Future of Europe. Our partner in the South of Europe, was the Faculty of Architecture of the largest Public University in the world, in Naples, Italy. STUDIOBLENDED sought to 1) to foreground the voices of Naples 2) to curate an event, through dialogue and liaison with all stakeholders. 3) to offer a clear pedagogical framing.Find the guide for the Japanese Future Design Model going into a synchronous audio playground here.

—Co-Funded by the European Union via GarageErasmus.—Client GarageErasmus—‘Nothing was set in stone, and everything was discussed and organised together, sharing opinions on all aspects,
from the way people were selected to the details of the event format. This made it possible to be involved in the
process, to feel it as one's own, stimulating the best possible outcome.’

STUDIOBLENDED was invited by a dean and professor in economics of an interdisciplinary faculty, to create an impactful tailor-made workshop on blended education. The challenge for this client was that she sensed emotions such as fear and frustration amongst the teaching staff, when it came to the need to go ‘blended’, as the world opened up after the pandemic. Negative experiences with emergency education online reinforced the hesitation.
 For this client, we proposed a ‘blended experience’ for the teaching staff, including a podcast and a playful face to face design session. The session took a surprising angle: it centered on how face to face has become the absolute premium. From there teachers were challenged to re-design the online learning journey, with the aimof optimising the face to face time.To amplify the sustainability of the workshop, we collaborated with the existing teaching academy - Educate-it, so that our work is complementary and teachers know where to find experts within the institution who can invigorate their designs with technology. The follow-up on the blended experience has been a series of reflections on  deep listening, dialogues and exchanges that have remained in the team.—

‘I always felt ‘blended’ was like something superimposed on us with quite some pressure. But the workshop made me realise, that I was confusing ‘hybrid’ and ‘blended’, and i became aware of just how biased I had entered the workshop and I had many eye openers. I still wonder: isn’t blended just a modern term, for what we ideally did anyway as teachers? Tell students to come prepared to class? I definatly hope to keep stimulating students to also read, not just watch videos.&#38;nbsp;

The audio podcast [transcript] that we received prior to the workshop, as a flipping the classroom experience, caught my attention, I was fascinated by the content and it was new to me to listen instead of read. It had some nice twists that came unexpected to me.’

STUDIOBLENDED attended the delivery of a longstanding Urban Design Climate Workshop (UDCW) in Paris for Master students, travelling by train to meet the coordinators in Paris. 
A challenge faced by the professors, who over the last decade have  designed and delivered the workshop, was how to optimally use the new value and meaning of ‘face to face’ time. They also longed to gain clarity about the pedagogical essence of the interdisciplinary curriculum for this specific one week workshop. Have a listen to an interview Tikvah conducted with the program coordinator about their program on our Audio Podcast page.Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc), following her observations, gave a brief advisory session on location, tackling 5 points for attention and follow up. 
—The workshop was part of the recently kicked-off Erasmus+ UCCRN_edu programme - and its partners.

‘We approached you (STUDIOBLENDED) especially because next to that being a chance to bring some innovative approach to our proposal, I noticed that you have a background aligned with what is needed by the project: the project is focused on three main capacity building component to be implemented: on the job, through an on line/remote assistance, and through a number of “classic” modular courses to be implemented in person.
It is in particular for the secondo component that I was thinking to involve your studio and see how we can offer and design something different to be just available to answer questions on a social network.’

‘I had the opportunity to work with Tikvah in
May 2021 when I was working for UN-Habitat as legal specialist. I was designing
a capacity development programme on policy and legal drafting for the Ministry
of Urban Planning and Housing of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Tikvah
provided pro bono advice on how to develop a blended programme for the Ministry
blending in-country sessions with on line and off-line activities. 
It was
extremely useful and easy to work with her. Tikvah helped me appreciate the
opportunities blended trainings can offer to overcome the difficulties of the
COVID-19 pandemic and improve the impact of capacity building activities. She quickly
understood the programme needs and challenges and proposed workable solutions.’

During the lockdowns we had the opportunity to  pilot our ‘resilience’ course successivly in a bichronous way.&#38;nbsp;‘Bichronous’ is characterised by the thoughtful integration of asynchronous (remote/online, self-paced) and synchronous (real time) teaching and learning.
 This Brazilian professor from Sao Paulo was challenged in the delivery of her academic courses remotely during the lockdowns. The challenge was two sides of the same coin: her own human resilience, and the technical resilience of the curriculum design. Tikvah trained her remotely alongside the delivery of the resilience course across 10 weeks. The professor reported a fresh pedagogical lens and new aptitude for supportive  technologies.—

“I took the resilience course, and now deliver the actual course that I designed during the training (summer in Europe, 2021).Suddenly I sense I dare to improvise with the technical and pedagogical formats the resilience course trained me in. The capacity I developed to design a technically resilient course, now helps me so much to be focused on where I’m going with the teaching.Students start to reach much higher levels already halfway the semester. They start thanking me, that the class was wonderful, it’s so encouraging, even if everything is still on distance. When the parents are happy – the children are happy. It’s the same with teachers!I feel secure the material is solid and lasting, so I can build on it, incrementally. I dare to learn by doing, everything you (Tikvah) said is true – I’m calmer, more self-confident, and daring to experiment more. The structured approach the course brought, now brings me deep excitement to keep growing and learning myself too, not just students. It’s so rewarding.You are so right we don’t need more heavy and extensive technology for excellent higher education, we need excellent technique and pedagogy, resilience. The course was a gift from heaven. I want you to train our entire team of professors!”prof. dr.

CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT TRAININGS - FINANCIAL DESIGN/NEGOTIATION

—
2014, 2020—
In 2014, our independent senior advisor and teacher trainer was involved in the financial design and negotiations of pilots of in-country capacity development training [to value of €250.000] in Africa and Latin America, at the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) of Erasmus University Rotterdam. 



The content topic was Land Value Capture (LVC), and the client was UN-Habitat. The financial design was done in close collaboration with the head of finance of the financial department of IHS.



Later, in 2020, our independent senior advisor and teacher trainer, was involved in the financial design and negotiations [to value of €800.000] of youth employment training in Africa and the Middle East under a Global Youth Employment Program of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the Netherlands. The financial design was done in close collaboration with the head of finance of the financial department of VSO/CFYE.

TRAINING AS A PRODUCT WITH AN OPEN BUILDING FRAMEWORK—2013-2015—As early as 2013, the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) of Erasmus University Rotterdam, was interested in how to package their capacity development trainings as a product.Upon invitation by the head of Education, Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc) (then staff member) delivered a proposal called ‘Training as a product - A suggestion’.With open building Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc) drew heavily on her Master thesis on open building and incremental housing in architecture (see Erasmus University repository, cum laude).The proposal includes a strong element of a robust curriculum that stands the test of time - by design, through a technical ‘fit for purpose framework’. It is also completely modular.The proposal dates back to 2014, but is still decade strong and relevant today, and resonates in all our technical and modular design. It’s simply how we visualise good education.—

	Vision
We envision making good education the standard for higher education course and degree coordinators. And by good, we mean:



- curricula shaped by innovative and deep pedagogical practices

- education that is resilient both technically and in content, and intentionally designed to last up to a decade. 

Mission















We become your equal partner to give bespoke advice on an optimal curriculum design for a course or degree. We work with you to define the purpose and goals of education in your specific context.
How are we different from what you’re used to get?
Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc), our independent senior advisor in curriculum design, holds dear her roots as a  teacher. This gives her an inside take and she brings with her experience in a spectrum of institutions. From this footing we position education as ‘a thoroughly practical art’ (after Biesta 2022, p. vii), where it ‘refers to an activity, that is, to something educators do’ (ibid. 2022, p. 4).
As a studio we are not educational advisors or technocrats. Instead, we work with pedagogy and craftmanship from a range of perspectives. We really get the practice of teaching - and can help you realise good education - by design.  
As a client you can expect our full attention, flexibility, open-mindedness, and a commitment to co-creation on the content, curriculum  or learning journey.
What is innovative and deep pedagogy to us?

We believe Pedagogy goes beyond instruction and didactics. It involves theory, philosophy, context, culture, values, language and history. Our Studio stands out for its love for simple, resilient  therefore deeply impactful pedagogical approaches.

What is resilience to us?
Our proposition is that resilience is two sides of the same coin: human and technical. One is not possible without the other.
Human resilience refers to your own resilience as higher education coordinator, lecturer or team of teachers. There is so much out there about student centered education. At a general level in Higher Education, our Studio would first of all love to see healthy, balanced university teachers. Teachers who experience a sense of wellbeing and fulfillment in their work and a sense of purpose in the work they offer  the world today.
Technical resilience to us is about creating an impactful curriculum that is robust up to a decade. We really stand out with our focus on curricula that stand the test of time, exactly because we design from the inside out - starting with the content. We do that in partnership with you, the content expert.
Durable design not only is smart in the triple constraint of quality, time and cost investment; it leads to purposeful education and human resilience of your teaching staff. 



Just as good technical design will also lead to healthy human resilience of your teaching team. That is our conviction.


Legal StatutesHere is our raison d’etre, as stated in article 3 of our statutes, as drafted by the notary in 2022:
‘The foundation has the objective to (1) enlarge the resilience and
capacities of teachers and trainers, both in higher education and beyond, (2)
to design, stimulate and develop sustainable good education.
The Foundation attempts to reach this objective amongst others by: 

- facilitating education and training for
teachers and trainers, both in higher education and beyond



- designing, developing, testing, implementing
and evaluating educational programs and educational methods



- advising universities, local governments, non
governmental organisations and organisations for capacity development, as well
as individual teachers.


The Foundation does not aim to make a profit.







We aim to offer the highest level of qualitative, personalised advice and training.
Foundation
 Why a foundation? We take the long-term approach.
Being a foundation allows us to ensure integrity, trustworthiness and continuity in the client relationships we build. Because as a foundation, we never compete, but seek cross-learning from all active and inspiring players in this field.



Being a non profit foundation means that all our income flows back into the foundation. This allows us to invest in sustainability and a holistic approach. 



We do not accept donations, since we protect our independent advice fiercely (see our manifesto). Instead, we operate in a more entrepreneurial way, creating our own work and seeking collaborations.


Pool of freelancers
When including experts from our network and pool of freelancers, we work as an agile team.

We receive independent legal and financial advice.

1. By design  -

We focus first and foremost on independent senior advice on curriculum design, at the drawing table, because this relates to a structural part of a coordinator’s own human resilience and the technical resilience of their course or degree.



We love teaching the teachers. Yet, we do not focus on instruction or didactics, as we believe there are already plenty of possibilities for that in teacher qualification, and each teacher may also develop their own style. We focus on curricula – by design.



We are well versed with ‘fit for purpose’ approaches, designing, developing and advising on the delivery of pilots and their consolidation. 



Incrementality, and modular approaches are our signature strengths. 



In a context of complexity, uncertainty and risk, we use rolling wave planning to manage a longer project with impact, using more detail now and higher level planning for the future until we’re closer to doing it.



2. Alignment -

From an organic way of life we derive our strength, calm, humanity, health, simplicity, balance and enjoyment of the work generating effective and resilient curricula. 



We are unapologetically rested.



We set out to enjoy our very own day in our very own lives because we believe this is infectious and will enable clients to do the same.



Through this we are able to sustain fresh, innovative and strategic approaches.



We believe in doing things well, not simply for the sake of creating something good but as part of our mission to create resilient curricula.



We support a work week that feels natural to our biorhythm. We take care in the timing of initiating and responding to things, and are convinced that overall it amplifies our impact. 



We work with high quality and prioritise simplicity.



By prioritising relaxation our brains are calm and we come to work fresh. We are able to imagine new things, make better decisions and ensure the right direction.



3. Time, Rhythm and Attention - 

We love the natural rhythm of the seasons. We follow the seasons as natural time demarcations of project cycles and contracts.



We have an entrepreneurial spirit. We don’t strive for a certain ambition, but rather act and take on assignments based on our value system, seeing life as an adventure and a miracle [after Pepe Muijca]. 



We love to work in a way that allows us to give our undivided attention to each project. We are engaged - fully present, with the people, the team, the work, which is why we only take on one large project per season. We realign for each season what makes sense for us to take on and give our undivided attention to.



This makes time is our most expensive currency. We protect it ruthlessly. 



When we’re working on an assignment with a client, we constantly monitor the time and realign as needed. In this way we foster healthy collaborations and finance.



4. Independence 

We operate as an independent studio.



Despite being a foundation and having the possibility to raise funds via donations, we consciously choose not to do that. 



This means we can commit only to work we believe in and must prioritise a robust financial base to take care of this independence. Through this we strive to offer clients the highest quality of advice and training.



This independence protects our capacity to bring in something refreshing to your institution and people.



5. Light and agile - 

Our Studio is lean and doesn’t have its own employees, instead we only work with freelancers. 



We are consciously agile - we work in a flexible, adaptive way to deliver value incrementally instead of all at once. Our agile team plans, builds, tests, and improves continuously, responding to change rather than sticking rigidly to a fixed plan.


We move lightly between people, and institutions and need little hierarchical guidance. In this way we are able to have the desired impact and lead to the required outputs, on time and within budget.



Depending on the assignment, we can propose an agile team of experts who are both very good at what they do, and wonderful to work with. 



6. Bespoke and technical - 

We only work on bespoke assignments for clients.



We don’t work in generic ways on curricula - we are always guided by you to ensure outputs speak to your content field. 



Higher education must constantly tread the line between real world tensions and academic freedom. As a STUDIO we only work on technical matters of educational design, as we consciously want to allow a legitimate, contextualised curriculum that frames the space our clients want to create in their classrooms. Our focus therefore is on understanding and serving your mission.



We discovered that more than traditional teacher training, bespoke advice assignments offer the best learning curve and maximum impact for the  work of our highly specialised and busy clients and the unique courses and training they deliver.  



7. Resilience -
To us, technical and human resilience are two sides of the same coin and should be developed in a systemic, entangled and structural way.



Therefore in each project we seek to contribute positively to both the technical content and to the wellbeing of the teachers.



8. Making science actionable, 
infusing practice with research -

We are passionate about bridging silos between your field (architecture / urban / land / water / climate/ development
), and the world of expertise in educational design.



We can be both high level and conceptual as well as and grounded and practical. This allows us to anchorring in a given in a variety of reality and contexts. We have a broad technical professional network with experts we can consult as necessary.



We make a conscious decision to not speak of capacity building, speaking instead of capacity development, as a two-way process for training teachers. 



We see a continuum between capacity development of university teachers, and of trainers of professionals. Making science actionable, and infusing practice with research. 



We are always creating opportunities and possibilities for this dialogue and exchange in our capacity development implementation.



When it comes to curriculum design, we strongly believe in continuous professionalisation on the job, as a coordinator, trainer, teacher runs into design challenges or other structural issues whilst they work with the design.

9. Green –
‘Green’ to us is not an add-on, ‘green’ is a fundamental to our design - wired  for simplicity. 



The internet is silently  polluting the earth. Every text we read; every search we do; every email we send; every piece of data we store in the cloud; every AI prompt we use; generates CO2 emissions, uses scarce water to cool the servers in datacentres which has an  impact on our common planet and climate.



There is therefore no such thing as green (higher) education – it always requires technology and communication across its phases yet many resource rich materials remain unattended in the cloud. Does it all still make sense? 



The process of identifying, interpreting, and implementing societal values in university education is an essential part of responsible innovation and designing for equitable, inclusive, and sustainable societies. 



How can we minimise our ecological footprint further? This is a question we at STUDIOBLENDED always ask as part of our value-based approach to curriculum design.



The internet isn't an autonomous being. Its growing energy demand is a direct result of our decisions. We have agency.



At STUDIOBLENDED we actively experiment with innovations in curriculum design for value, by ensuring high quality, high impact education using only the minimum  technological requirement. 



Digital behaviour requires choices. We dare to lead and keep learning as we look for concepts, tools and practices. Not as an imagined future, but for now.



10. Equal partnerships – 

The professionals we work with and for are not just our paying clients: they are partners with whom we have a strong, respectful relationship grounded in continuity and trust. We look for authentic collaborations that further amplify our mission and impact.



We come alongside a client, and operate as equal partners throughout the project duration of an advisory assignment.



Our senior advisors expect to have an equal partnership with the client’s main focal point (i.e. a coordinator), whereby client and advisor work together, combining the advisor’s specialist knowledge with relevant knowledge about the content, the organisation and access to the relevant departments. Therefore shared responsibility and joint decision making are essential and allow the success and relevance of the identified outcomes and outputs.



We care about the human connection with our clients, and always look to the long-term in the relationship. Consistency and organic, open communication are important to us.



11. Knowledge and craftsmanship of the teacher go hand in hand -

We see knowledge development and acting always as two sides of the same coin.



Craftsmanship (of the teacher) takes center stage but science and craftsmanship shouldn’t be disentangled. 



It’s not true that ‘objective’ technical/technocratic scientists and educational advisors know how good education should be done. And that teachers are merely executers. Intellectual knowledge is not the same as actionable knowledge of the brain, the heart and hands.



Rather than seeing science as absolute truth, we see it as incremental insights. We need the knowhow and tacit knowledge of the teacher and the fostering of craftsmanship.



12. A pedagogical lens to technology and blended approaches – 

We take a value based approach to all technological and digital aspects of (higher)education and its (open) materials.



We look at technology through a pedagogical lens, and can propose a bespoke pedagogy to your education.



Good education to us moreover involves a blended approach to teaching / training, a thoughtful combination of face to face and online delivery. 



It is also about the new value of face-to-face time for pedagogy - as absolute premium time, no longer taken for granted. This is why we continue to experiment and innovate with ‘live’ time from a pedagogical angle.



The blend that makes sense varies for every individual context, and even for the one delivering a course, training or degree.



Our response is therefore a highly personalized, uniquely tailored approach.



13. Financial clarity matters -

We love how finance can bring clarity, health and simplicity. We prioritise  accountability and transparency. This way we ensure honest prices for  our expertise and products, and ensure sound financial management and reliability.



In the end finance is a means to an end and we exist to make things concrete - matter matters to us. Our raison d’être is to bring ideas and values into actual transformed structural designs.



We are flexible in our range of deliverables, from bringing innovation to the most ordinary solutions to the elegance of simplicity in corporate and even artistic end products.



Beauty is a language of calm to us. It instills calm, and a calmed nerve system is essential for learning and enjoyment of teaching.

Resilient education that
stands the test of time - by design.

“In
the future we will not speak of ‘blended’ education anymore, we will only talk of
good education – and it will naturally involve a thoughtful integration of
‘face to face’ and online learning and teaching.”
From an interview (2021) by Tikvah Breimer with Wiebe Dijkstra, Coordinator Blended
Learning Developers at TU/Delft. Collaborated on two Erasmus+ Programmes on Blended Higher Education (EMBED (2017-2020) and DigitelPro (2022). EMBED+ was launched recently (2025), you can find more information on the EMBED+ Newspage.
“I always felt ‘blended’ was like something superimposed on us with quite some pressure. But the [StudioBlended] workshop made me realise, that I was confusing ‘hybrid’ and ‘blended’, and i became aware of just how biased I had entered the workshop and I had many eye openers.”&#38;nbsp;


One of the senior teachers participating in our workshop ‘Blended: reenvisioning face to face time’. See under ‘Client portfolio’&#60;img width="204" height="192" width_o="204" height_o="192" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87990274cd1d0ec3e41c6a48a888a420ae65e4a9bf8a57ccdcd5e07b3125825a/UU-logo.png" data-mid="231813301" border="0" data-scale="31" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/204/i/87990274cd1d0ec3e41c6a48a888a420ae65e4a9bf8a57ccdcd5e07b3125825a/UU-logo.png" /&#62;“As online learning becomes a more common model for higher education courses, institutions and instructors should investigate the benefits of including both synchronous and asynchronous elements in online learning to maximize the benefits of both these environments.”
