The course Road Safety in the South includes global road safety knowledge that is relevant to traffic safety in the South. Specific cases from the South will be handled as well (e.g., Vietnam). To this end, the course involves the cooperation of several international guest speakers. The classes entail lectures and work sessions. These will handle road safety theory and apply this to cases in their specific region. Moreover, students work on a group assignment where they will choose a specific region (e.g., city, country) in the South in order to apply the Safe Systems Approach. The majority of your learning will be done through self-study, based on the course material that is made available online. You will have access to a range of useful online learning materials such as online lectures, reading materials, as well as access to thousands of e-books, online journals and other resources via our online university library. Approximately mid-semester, an online interactive Question and Answer session will be organised, where students can meet the course lecturer and fellow students online and have the opportunity to go deeper into the course material. All evaluations will be done online, whether by submission of assignments or by taking written or oral exams online, or a combination of assignments and exams. Written exams will be done with online proctoring (exam supervision) to retain the integrity of a supervised exam, while providing the flexibility of an online platform. For the online exams, distance learning students should ensure to have a laptop/pc with a working webcam and microphone, a charged mobile device (phone/tablet) and a stable internet connection (minimum upload speed of 1.5 MB/second), as well as a quiet, secluded room to take the exam in.
