Summary
Projects are central to Fontys ICT's education. All students work in groups on projects. The project is the environment in which the student develops into an ICT professional . The tutor supervises a number of project groups in their professional process. He also has an eye for group interaction and dynamics and takes action when necessary. A semester coach supervises individual students.

The tutor

• is preferably also a semester coach or course lecturer with the project group;
• supervises groups of students regarding their professional development (RD);
• is the first point of contact for a project group in case of problems, concerns or doubts in the group process;
• together with the other lecturers ensures the introduction of students and student groups in the semester;
• proactively engages with project groups;
• monitors the process of the project groups;
• coaches students on project organisation;
• provides feedback on concrete, observable behaviour of the project group, thus encouraging reflective behaviour;
• monitors group dynamics, makes students aware and intervenes if necessary;
• encourages students to make joint working agreements for the realisation of the project and to ensure that these agreements are met.
• gives feedforward to the project group and values the feedback noted by the group in Feedpulse;
• coordinates with external stakeholder(s);
• coordinates with other lecturers involved with the students in the project group;
• participates in the Assessor meeting as co-assessor;
• takes care of its own professionalisation in this role. For example, intervision or education regarding coaching and group dynamics.

During a project group meeting, the tutor usually discusses:

• well-being of the group;
• progress of the project;
• status of agreements made;
• progress on learning outcomes.
