5. Understanding Learning and Teaching in a Digital Context Make it work Set Realistic Goals: The divide by 4 rule (50 percent early drop outs + 50 percent student completion). From 200 to 100 to 50… Implement a simple structure: provide students with a sense of security (a simple and repetitive structure using metaphors from campus teaching; e.g. sections, lectures, seminars, examination). Make use of the digital possibilities: make sure the reading list only contains E-books and other E-material. Give accessibility to supervisors: make sure that teachers who are comfortable with being online are involved. Don’t produce amateur multi media: use multi media with caution and make sure that all multi media is of high quality production.
