Staff Academy Interview: Julia Fernandez Diaz. Skövde 2026

In this interview series we have a conversation with the presenters of the winter 2026 Staff Academy workshops. The Staff Academy is an event where educators meet to share, transfer, and showcase innovative pedagogical methodologies within the European University INGENIUM. Julia Fernandez Diaz: Hop & Learn: Visual Participatory Review for Consensus-Based Learning Hop & Learn is an engaging, student-centered review activity that transforms the final minutes of class into a dynamic, collaborative learning experience. Students guide a frog hopping across leaves by answering questions on lesson content; correct answers advance the frog, while incorrect ones spark discussion and reflection. Unlike traditional quizzes, answers are reached by consensus, fostering collaboration, critical thinking, and resilience—transversal skills essential for sustainable education. The playful visual and immediate feedback enhance engagement and retention while allowing teachers to identify comprehension gaps in real time. Successfully applied in Statistics classes for Geology students at the University of Oviedo, all questions are adapted to each lesson. Implemented on digital platforms (e.g., Educaplay), this methodology is flexible and transferable, suitable for various subjects, levels, and formats, digital, hybrid, or in-person. Its impact can be assessed through participation rates, student feedback, and improved retention of key concepts. Hop & Learn exemplifies innovative, participatory teaching that is replicable, scalable, and ready to inspire educators across INGENIUM universities.

The event is held twice a year, and the content is shared publicly on https://ingenium-university.eu/ingeni... . The Staff Academy events consist of ten individual sessions, each lasting an hour, with one from each partner university. The sessions are based on proposals submitted by INGENIUM staff implementing innovative learning methodologies or those wishing to develop them in cooperation with others. The Staff Academy sessions allow participants to gain and enhance their teaching and facilitation skills by providing additional time for hands-on learning and interaction with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and fields. It will also provide an appropriate framework for knowledge sharing and transfer, offer new networking opportunities, and open avenues for enhanced cooperation with the INGENIUM network.
