The University of the Netherlands started Quarantine Lectures
At the moment, many lectures, professors, and university staff are working on recording videos, moving their courses online, and designing online assignments. Marc van Oostendorp, professor at the Radboud University, has made an appeal to his colleagues: make these recorded lectures available to the public.
The University of the Netherlands, with support from the Association of Universities in The Netherlands (VSNU), has developed a website realise this initiative. On www.quarantainecolleges.nl, lecturers can upload their recorded lectures. After uploading, the University of the Netherlands checks these lectures for quality and copyright. After the check, the videos are published on the Quarantine Colleges-YouTube channel.

Would you like to follow lectures you would otherwise not have access to, from the comfort of your living room and without fellow students? See what lectures are available here.
In de snelle transitie naar online of afstandsonderwijs die docenten(teams), opleidingen, faculteiten en instellingen nu noodgedwongen doormaken is het verleidelijk om reflectie op didactiek even terzijde te schuiven en te focussen op de techniek. Geen tijd om stil te staan, we moeten online, en als het kan een beetje vlug. Onverstandig, volgens de zes auteurs van 'Toolgericht of doelgericht? Drie wijze lessen voor afstandsonderwijs'.

Digital educational resources come in all shapes and sizes, such as digital (practice) tests, virtual reality simulations, or knowledge clips students view prior to the lecture. By using an open license, you give others permission to use or adapt the material with certain conditions. This way colleagues can benefit from each other's work.
Do you want to ask a question to colleagues in the sector? Or do you have a topic that you would like to discuss with others? Then go to the forum and post your question. You can also respond to other people's questions here. You can log in with your institutional account to join the forum.

Verschillende uitgevers en leveranciers dragen bij aan het toegankelijk houden van digitaal leermateriaal door beperkingen daarop tijdelijk op te heffen. Dit helpt studenten en docenten die nu niet langer toegang hebben tot deze materialen door sluiting van de campusbibliotheek of –mediatheek. Een overzicht van de initiatieven.
Hieronder vind je een overzicht van de informatie die instellingen beschikbaar stellen aan hun docenten. De instellingen en pagina's opgenomen in dit overzicht zijn open en voor iedereen toegankelijk.
