Description: Geomatics is a domain that has gained relevance and importance within the field of Architecture and the Built Environment. Typically, Geomatics education in Delft, Lund, Bochum, Leuven, and Zagreb was best characterised as lecture-based: traditional and relatively passive. This has changed fundamentally after March 2020. In this article, we analyse the development towards more active learning and teaching in five university degree programmes regarding geomatics. This study found two types of active online education: digitisation of on-campus education and implementation of new online active learning and teaching methods, including clips, quizzes, forums, in-depth Q&A, and debates. Despite the use of active learning methods, universities are struggling to maintain the attention of students during lectures and with the design of online assessments.
