Winning the Leiden University teaching prize is a great honour and a recognition for not only being a motivated teacher but also for being innovative. What comes with the prize is a membership of the Leiden University Teaching Academy (LTA) and some money to spent on a teaching innovation. The LTA is a community of teachers from different faculties who meet at a regular basis to share and discuss ideas about best teaching practices and innovations. Within the context of the LTA a project can be developed and implemented using the prize money. It is my interest to investigate how we can implement virtual reality practicals in teaching modules in a way that students get better prepared for the real practicals and for doing research in a lab.
