Emergency Move to Remote Instruction
Faculty may need to transition their course to remote instruction in specific circumstances. The learning experience of a course moved to remote instruction in response to crises or disasters differs from that of a course designed for online instruction. Moving instruction to remote allows for flexibility in teaching and learning, enabling access from anywhere at any time. Hodges et al. (2020) described emergency remote teaching as a temporary measure to provide quick and reliable access to instruction and instructional support during an emergency or crisis, rather than attempting to recreate a robust educational ecosystem. In the event of an emergency or severe weather affecting University operations or safety, updates will be posted to the University Alert Center.
