Shuffling and digitizing education at Erasmus MC
12:58 – Walter van den Broek is director of education at Erasmus MC. In the talkshow Erasmus TV he talked about all the complications of disseminating as much online education as quickly as possible. An important ingredient is shuffling the curriculum, so that more complex lectures are given time to be digitized. “Online streaming is very well possible in the bachelor’s, since there are many large lectures,” said Van den Broek. “We are now looking at what material we can exactly convert to digital. We have a policies and advice department that can support the teachers. What doesn’t work well digitally are the skills classes, which are often physical one-to-one trainings. We can, however, move other classes to the forefront, such as the essay that bachelor students have to write. This gives lecturers from other subjects more time to digitize their lectures. ”
