Purpose Modern medical education demands innovative, competence-orientated concepts. The forced digital transfer of teaching due to the coronavirus pandemic also affected radiation oncology (RO). The following analysis investigates whether the attractivity of RO teaching at our faculty could be maintained during the pandemic and which possibilities exist to involve students (in active learning). The latter aspect is further elaborated on a broader scale by a systemic review of the literature on competence-orientated digital education. Methods Evaluation results and participation rates of clinical lectures in radiation oncology (RO) were analyzed between the  winter semester 2018/2019 and the  summer semester 2021. A systemic review of the literature on digital education in RO for medical students was conducted. Results Concerning evaluation results, a significant improvement for the 7th and 9th semesters was observed in  comparison between the pre-pandemic and pandemic semesters ( p  = 0.046 and  p  = 0.05, respectively). Overall participation rates did not differ. However, the number of students attending &gt; 75% of classes in the respective semester increased significantly between the  pre-pandemic and pandemic period (median values: 38 vs. 79%,  p  = 0.046; 44 vs. 73%,  p  = 0.05; 45 vs. 64%,  p  = 0.05; 41 vs. 77%,  p  = 0.05; 41 vs. 71%,  p  = 0.05, for the 6th to 10th semester, respectively). Conclusion The analysis demonstrates the possibility of efficient digital transfer of a core curriculum in RO to the digital era, with a more continuous participation of students. This transfer may enable amelioration of teaching quality and the introduction of innovative and interactive concepts in accordance with the literature.
