All courses to be fully remote since May 17th
2021-05-14
In case of a further wave of COVID-19, a comprehensive contingency plan will be unexceptionally applied to all courses (including experimental, practicum, and hands-on courses): all courses, regardless of enrollment number or course types, shall be switched to distance learning mode since May 17th. The five classroom buildings managed by the University: Gongtong, Putong, Xinsheng , Boya, and Zonghe Classroom Building are only accessible for instructors and teaching assistants to transcribe their courses. Students are prohibited from entering Classroom Buildings to maintain a reduced on-campus population.
If it’s inevitable for students to run experiment in an in-person class such as hands-on or experimental courses, the upper limit of students in the same space or lab shall be 4, and appropriate physical distancing and good ventilation shall be maintained throughout the course. Of course, given the dynamic public health environment, the remote-only instruction is strongly recommended.

Instructors can upload their lecture videos to NTU COOL for asynchronous online teaching. Besides, the Office of Academic Affairs has provided all instructors with U Webinar and U Meeting accounts for synchronous online discussion. To activate the account, please check the NTU mailbox for the activation link sent from CyberLink. Instructors may also use their preferred communication software or streaming media for online teaching.

To record the lectures, instructors can use video recording software such as EverCam or OBS. Zonghe Classroom Building equipped with improvised lecture recording systems is open for instructors to make reservation, if there is availability.

In addition, “Toolbox for Digitalizing Your Courses” and“Teaching Assistant Training for Digital Teaching” are available on NTU COOL:
