Jimmy Frèrejean, PhD

Instructional designer

About

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Educational Development and Research at Maastricht University. I teach and research instructional design for medical education and am specialized in the four-component instructional design (4C/ID) model. I am interested in simulation education and VR/AR applications.

I also maintain the 4C/ID website at https://www.4cid.org and its Twitter account @4cid_tensteps.
