We design and develop Learning Tools
Learning Tools and Games
PonsVerhoog is dedicated to developing and designing learning tools in which critical thinking is key. We care for different ways of learning-improving-growing in which teaching and learning is approached as a commutation of knowledge. Our focus is on Inclusive Pedagogy, critical Visual Literacy and Creative Practices.
Consultancy and Advice
PonsVerhoog advises on didactic/ pedagogic challenges with the goal of revamping practices and organisations. Our Roadmap for a Curriculum is a modular method to help establish the challenges and improve a course or curriculum to future proof standards. We avoid design-solutionism and strive for context analysis followed by imaginative goal setting.
We work on:
Inclusive Pedagogy
Offering learning tools for – and courses on- inclusivity, coping with conflict, and improving communication skills.
Our tools aim to take away the competitive influence of normativity, othering & social media, focusing on self-growth through creative means and collaboration.
Visual Literacy
As part of the 21st century literacy skills, we strive to enhance a better understanding of visual language in a world that is build upon constant mediated images and input.
Our learning tools help deconstruct and construct the message.
Creative Practices
Implementing practice based research in creative processes enriches the diversity and uniqueness of all kinds of makers.
Our expertise is both in the process (through methods and designerly ways of thinking) as wel as on the process: raising awareness of one’s own unique practice, phases and creative obstacles.
