Professional expertise

Jakko van der Pol, designer of the Annotation tool, is one of the few educational trainers who manage to create a real connection between theory and practice.

This approach has, amongst others, led to the development of the Annotation tool, a widely used tool for online processing of literature and interactive peer feedback. Although strongly rooted in educational theory, the Annotation tool has also been shaped and formed by the practical evaluations and ideas of many academic teachers.

In addition, this connection can be found in Jakko’s work as a researcher, teacher, consultant and trainer, in which he demonstrates many ways of designing succesful online learning experiences.
