About GETLIN

Welcome to our GETLIN site. GETLIN, or the Global Effective Teaching and Learning Network, is an international network hosted by the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. GETLIN strives to advance knowledge about effective teaching and learning, stimulates scholarly discussion related to effective teaching and learning, and promotes the use of research on effective teaching and learning to improve educational theories and practices.


GETLIN focuses on the discussion about the two key players of education – teachers and students – globally. From more than half a decade of research on teaching, it has been revealed that teaching is a complex act in a complex environment. The effectiveness of teaching is determined by various, often complex, factors. This insight serves as a motivation for establishing the network in order to exchange knowledge and best practices in effective teaching and learning among various stakeholders globally.


Let’s stay connected!
