I can\u2019t explain that to my students\u201d, says Han van Krieken, rector of Radboud University Nijmegen, at an online press conference organised by the Association of Universities in the Netherlands VSNU and attended by a number of rectors and administrators.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Panic<\/h2><p>Some tutors \u2018are literally panicking\u2019 at the thought of having to prepare two scenarios, claims Geert ten Dam, president of the University of Amsterdam. \u201cThey no longer have any idea how they\u2019ll be doing things in the summer and after that. Please take those signals seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as we\u2019re concerned, there\u2019s only one scenario\u201d, concludes VSNU president Pieter Duisenberg, and that scenario is without social distancing. \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re timetabling for.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexible timetable<\/h2><p>But despite these tough words, the universities know that the pandemic is unpredictable. Ideally, they would like to go back to holding as many lessons as possible on campus, but they also know that it would be crazy not to consider a possible new wave of Covid-19 infections.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, VU Amsterdam tells HOP that, \u201cFor the new academic year, we are working with a flexible timetable that can be scaled up or down depending on the current state of affairs and possible government restrictions this autumn.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arithmetic and timetabling<\/h2><p>\u201cWe are busy working out both scenarios\u201d, reports Tilburg University, \u201cwhich is not easy. One of our largest lecture halls normally holds 600 people, but under coronavirus restrictions fewer than 60. That means a lot of arithmetic and timetabling work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The University of Twente estimates that about 20-25 percent of teaching will be delivered online anyway, even in the most optimistic scenario. \u201cMost of that will be lecture-style activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Better to be well prepared than overoptimistic, seems to be the general sentiment. At the VSNU press conference, administrators refer to a whole range of digital solutions they are working on. Ten Dam, for example, talks about \u2018beautiful forms of blended learning\u2019 and a \u2018hybrid learning theatre\u2019, with a few students physically present in the auditorium and the rest taking part via large screens.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Abroad<\/h2><p>Such solutions are important not only for students in the Netherlands, but also for international ones. If they are abroad and not allowed to travel, Ten Dam argues, you still want to be able to offer them high-quality education.<\/p>\n<p>Rector Arthur Mol of Wageningen University introduces the journalists to a digital feedback tool, which is sometimes more effective \u2013 that is, faster and more comprehensive \u2013 than face-to-face contact between tutor and student in the same room. He is also enthusiastic about LabBuddy, with which students can prepare their experiments digitally.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New academic normal<\/h2><p>More examples follow. A podcast on statistics for beginners has proven a great success, there are short films known as knowledge clips in which specific topics are explained, and some lectures could possibly be delivered online\u2026 Duisenberg even speaks of \u2018the new academic normal\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>It all seems to fit seamlessly into a strategy which was already being mapped out before Covid-19 struck. Even then, some administrators were looking forward to a rather more digital form of higher education, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advalvas.vu.nl\/verhalen\/de-coronacrisis-zal-nog-jaren-nagalmen-op-de-vu-campus\">more functional use of the campus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Certainty<\/h2><p>Avans University of Applied Sciences realised this spring that it was going to have to take many different factors into account. \u201cTo be on the safe side\u201d, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advalvas.vu.nl\/en\/node\/8809\">said <\/a>president Paul R\u00fcpp, \u201cwe\u2019re going to plan our teaching in such a way that it can go back from physical to online at the touch of a button. Because everything could be different again by September.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sr-only\">De
