New publication: Online Academic Education: What to Keep and What to Drop?
The fourth volume in Tilburg Series in Academic Education has been published, entitled: 'Online Academic Education: What to Keep and What to Drop?' This issue examines the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for education within our university.
The most notable consequence was that we switched en masse from on-campus teaching to online forms of education. Hence, this issue is focused on addressing the following questions: What are the opportunities and risks posed by online education? What practices would instructors like to share with their colleagues? How have students experienced these forms of education? What lessons can we learn from this period?
Instructors, students, and educational policymakers share their experiences with and ideas about online education. This anthology of experiences and visions shows how Tilburg University has dealt with and thought about education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both the opportunities and dangers associated with online education were discussed, while best practices were shown. Although some authors are considerably more optimistic than others regarding the digitalization of higher education, all the contributions express a deep concern for students and a profound devotion to education.
In between these essays are students’ experiences of this disruptive period as well as their opinions on the new modes of teaching.
