2003 - 2007Phd computer supported collaborative learningActivities and Societies: President of the board of the Dutch United Nations Student Association, Amsterdam (Studentenvereniging voor Internationale Betrekkingen) For my PhD research I worked with teachers and students from 12 different schools. In the classrooms I took the role of teacher/researcher, implementing a controlled experiment aimed at improving the quality of student participation in CSCL, thus aiming to improve their learning outcomes. The students were of diverse backgrounds and the experimental intervention proved to be especially beneficial (in terms of learning outcomes) to minority students.

She’s an enthusiastic and independent researcher with a motivation to achieve. She is a person with good interpersonal skills and problem solving abilities. Her research work has already generated quite a number of high quality publications in refereed journals. Both her methodological and her theoretical knowledge are extensive. In the past five years she has build a valuable international network in Europe and the U.S.Fleur is a highly respected person in our department. Her contributions in our departmental meetings are constructive and highly valued by the whole staff. Her paper presentations and teaching skills for national as well as international audiences are excellent. Professor Dr. Sanna Järvelä (Professor hosting visit to Oulu University) -Fleur has multiple expertise on research and teaching, she has both interest and experience in international research networking, and put out high quality international publications. The applicant’s experience and qualifications are very relevant for future research. Her theoretical approach is strong and applicable to the future research issues. According to my invitation Fleur Prinsen visited my research group in Educational Technology Research Unit. She participated on-line course teaching and also gave lectures about her research work. She was very active, social and interested in discussing her research works as well as sharing her ideas. She has challenging aims in her research career, but I am convinced about her ability to reach them. I highly recommend that the grant will be given to Fleur Prinsen. Show less

Apr 2006 - Nov 2007Tutoring master thesis studentsWhat my students say about the service I provided:"Our thesis might get published" - “Our tutor matched our expectations very well. She was professional, positive, enthusiastic and motivating. She has taught us a lot. Thank you!” - Riet and Katrin (New technologies and Language teaching, Utrecht, the Netherlands).“Because of the tutoring I regained the focus of my thesis in no time and I also regained my confidence in finishing my thesis in a short period of time. I’m very satisfied with the tutoring I received. It was definitely worth the money I spent” - Euridice (Sociology, Rotterdam)."The tutoring has helped me sharpen the focus of my research so that the end goal (graduating) would not be lost out of sight. The tutoring was of great help at a time when I was about to give up." - Anonimized student of Math and Natural sciencesReference: http://www.snelafstuderen.nl/scriptiebegeleiding/reacties_van_studenten.html Show less
