 The digitization of learning is indispensable. Universities have to digitize their teaching and learning materials to cope with the global competition. Universities which are resistant to digitization will soon disappear, or simply free your lecture. These are just some of the remarks associated with the digital developments concerning teaching and learning in the 21st century. Remarks to which I fully subscribe. I'm convinced that the digitization of teaching and learning involves many benefits, from administrative to content-related aspects. During my visits and workshops at several universities, however, I found out that there are still large groups of teachers who have little or no ideas about what digitization actually is, and even more so, and that surprised me a lot, they cannot foresee the benefits of using digital teaching and learning scenarios. For this reason, I have decided to start this video series dealing with the benefits of digitization, where each follow-up video will look at a particular aspect. For example, we will look at general administrative aspects of digitization. We will see how digitization may help to overcome traditional problems of teaching and learning. We will argue on the basis of the digital content. In fact, the content debate is one which will stretch over several videos. We will look at digitization from the learner perspective as well as from the teacher's angle, and will finally also include new formats of digital assessment. You see, this is a lot and far too much for one single educational video. So I hope you join me and share my arguments in favor and perhaps also against digitization. See you soon.
