The Covid-19 pandemic prompted a rapid shift to online education. The 4TU.Centre for Engineering Education (4TU.CEE), initiated thewriting of a white paper. The authors present a research synthesis conducted across the four Universities of Technology in the Netherlands (hereafter the 4TUs). They also reflect on what the Covid-19 pandemic has brought to our education system. Based on the synthesis results, they provide policymakers with implications relevant to the (immediate) responseto continued pandemic-related restrictions. At the same time, they signal that digital education offers new opportunities for both scaling up and quality improvement to actively shape a preferred future for teaching.
