How can feedback from students, colleagues and international experts inform course development? This question is connected to the PROFFORMANCE On-site Peer Learning Activity, “Upgrade your course: Make it truly student-centred”, held in Budapest on 27–29 October 2026. The programme brought together higher education teachers for three days of reflection, practical course redesign and international collaboration.
The Budapest event continued the learning journey launched through the April–June online programme, organised by the PROFFORMANCE team of Tempus Public Foundation with co-financing of DAAD. Participants selected for their active engagement in the online learning community could build on their earlier work, discuss teaching challenges in person, and further develop their courses with peer and expert support.
The four PROFFORMANCE experts – Jan Beseda, Irine Darchia, Silke Preymann and Bárbara Gabriel – supported participants throughout the course redesign and COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) development activities, providing expert guidance and feedback. The facilitation of the group work was supported by Szilvia Besze and Dr Linda Huszár, who guided the collaborative process and encouraged peer exchange and active participation.
