Swissnex in Boston and New York

💻📚🎓 We recently had the pleasure of hosting Thomas Järmann, Academic Director of the ZHAW School of Engineering, during his visit to the US as part of the ZHAW Staff Mobility program. During his two-month stay in Boston, he explored how US universities are innovating in the realm of digital teaching, and connected with several esteemed educators in the field, including Chris Dede (Harvard Graduate School of Education), Torrey Trust, Ph.D. (UMass Amherst College of Education), and Chris Dellarocas (Questrom School of Business, Boston University). As the ZHAW School of Engineering explores new opportunities in digital teaching, the insights gained from these meetings are invaluable. We are excited to see how these methods and ideas are implemented at ZHAW! ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences #ZHAW
