Maaike Pardieck, lecturer applied psychology:
‘The use of Civinc came at a perfect time for our first-year Applied Psychology students. Being able to put yourself in someone else’s perspective and getting to know someone else’s frame of reference is an important competence, something Civinc fitted in perfectly with. The platform is very user-friendly and encourages students to explore the views of a fellow student with a curious eye. It was precisely the anonymity that was appreciated by students; They indicated that they liked to enter into a conversation without any form of bias and assessment”
Civinc at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam
Maaike and her colleagues at the HvA applied psychology course used Civinc with close to 200 students in multiple sessions. Students discussed statements related to sensitive social issues with peers that held different views. Preparation was as simple as determining the thematic discussion statements (with help of the built-in AI tool), and sharing an anonymous login code as part of their lecture. Involving all students in the conversation as part of a lecture has never been easier!
