Samenvatting

This book provides insight into an ambitious project to re-invent the educational method practiced at NHL Stenden. The predecessors used different ap­proaches to the delivery of education. One of them used Competency-Based Education, whilst the other practiced Problem-Based Learning. The choi­ce to combine the advantages of both methods, as well as to develop an entirely new concept that provided a better response to the fast and ever-in­creasing pace of changes in the workplace, was made by both institutions together. This approach was called Design-Based Education (DBE). Given the significant changes required of stakehol­ders to facilitate learning according to the new DBE approach, it is important to take stock of what the­se changes mean in terms of teaching and learning and to ascertain from early steps how everybody can stay, or step, on board.
