Vom Corona-Shutdown zur Blended University?

Abstract

The expert survey "Digitales Sommersemester" focuses on the medium-term consequences of the corona pandemic for studies and teaching. On the basis of multi-perspective surveys among students, lecturers and employees of support institutions, a differentiated picture of the university in shutdown is created. The study reveals the university‘s ability to react quickly during the crisis, as well as the many challenges posed by the pandemic-related ‚operational disruption‘ and abrupt digitalization in the summer semester of 2020. Based on a stakeholder-specific analysis of key problems and the need for action in higher education policy, the study provides a brief outlook on a post-corona university.
