From 2 March until 20 April 2013 the Open Universiteit organizes the 1st International Digital Spring School ‘Brain, Lifestyle, and Learning’. The format of this Spring School is unique as the programme will be offered as distance education and is completely web-based. So there is no need to travel. All you need is access to internet. Apart from the live expert sessions, you can do your assignments in your own time and place.

The Spring School focuses on three lifestyle factors - physical activity, nutrition and sleep - and their relation to brain, learning and cognition. The latest scientific insights are presented. Also the societal implications of these lifestyle factors for lifelong learning and for educational practice will get attention.

There are two ways to participate. Passively by attending the 1-hour live sessions on Thursday. Or actively by interacting with the experts, junior scientists, and fellow participants. You work on predefined assignments and participate in different elements encompassed in the web-based approach of the course, such as writing blogs, asking the experts questions, contributing to the discussions, etc.
