PULSED

PULSED is an organization within Fontys. She believes that students can use their own fascination and talent to grow into a “self-directed” professional who our future society needs. PULSED stands for pulsating education. She tries to stimulate students and then let them go to find their own path.

She believes that the old way of learning does not work well. It is important that students are given the freedom to pursue their own path within a study so that they can develop their own interests and qualities.

The ‘Embrace TEC’ minor therefore gives students many opportunities. During this semester, students are given the space they need to see where their talents lie. Here PULSED distinguishes itself from the competitors. The organization does not focus on a specific discipline, but allows students to find their own way in education with the resources she offers. Technology, entrepreneurship and creativity are key.

PULSED currently offers three educational programs; the “Embrace TEC” minor, the “Empower TEC” and a reintegration program for teachers. “Empower TEC” is a program that helps students who have made a wrong study choice to discover and develop their interests, talents and qualities. In addition, PULSED is setting up a “TEC master”.

The minor has been around for a number of years now and has not changed much in terms of content. Nevertheless, the minor has grown. This means that there are more options and more professional devices available.

CREATE YOUR OWN FLOW

GOLDEN CIRCLE

The Golden Circle by Simon Sinek is a simple but powerful model that provides incentive for inspiring leadership.

WHY PULSED believes that by deploying your own fascination and talent you will become a self-directed professional that the future needs.

HOW Because of the ‘design-based’ learning method, where creating an open homey learning space, giving freedom but not permissiveness and providing resources in the field of technology, entrepreneurship and creativity is key.

WHAT PULSED allows both students and teachers to find their own way in education and offers space to discover their own talents by offering different TEC programs.

ARCHETYPE The character of a brand can be described in an archetype. This is something to hold on to when communicating to the consumer.

PULSED is defined as the archetype ‘Outlaw’. Words that match this archetype are rebel, rule breaker and freedom. The archetype ‘Outlaw’ goes her own way and sets her own boundaries, because boundaries are meant to be crossed.

The goal is to destroy what is not working. The ‘Outlaw’ pushes boundaries to bring social change, a fresh perspective or a reawakening. This archetype breaks with conventions and tries to run the market upside down.

PULSED wants to distinguish itself from other minors and the normal way of teaching. Fontys is the umbrella, but besides that PULSED goes her own way. PULSED wants to continue to implement the design-based learning as their way of teaching and believes that this the best way of education.

PULSED dares to go against the system in order to do things differently, because boundaries are meant to be crossed.

The circle (cycle) represents the PULSED circle, community and programs in which the student is located. That is where our "magic happens", so that they eventually leave the program as a self-directed professional.

The line that runs alongside represents the sidetrack(s) that students can take, because every individual is unique.

This is also the place where our students do most of their work. Here they get to work on their own projects. By doing this they get to learn from their mistakes but also how to celebrate a finished product.
