Avlm 2009 Guided Indep Learning Wim

Guided Independent Learning (GIL) is an educational framework developed by KU Leuven to improve higher education. It aims to make students responsible for their own learning through decreasing guidance over time. Instructors are responsible for setting objectives, evaluations, and creating a supportive learning environment. GIL emphasizes the connection between research and education and stimulates critical and independent thinking in students. Its implementation requires commitment at all university levels and flexibility in organization.
