As the COVID-19 pandemic enforced governments around the world to suspend social gatherings including on-site teaching at educational intuitions, universities had to rely on digital technologies to compensate face-to-face activities and maintain teaching and learning operations. This paper aims to explore problems and challenges that faced lecturers during the rapid changeover to digital teaching in response to the limitations caused by the crisis. The case study focuses on the Technische Universität Dresden as an example for the transition to digital teaching in the context of an unforeseen crisis. A set of practical recommendations to support academic teaching staff in adopting effective digital teaching is developed based on needs and requirements identified in the literature and extensive qualitative interviews with experts in digital teaching and higher education fields.
