Mar. 12, 2020
This message was sent by the w88 online casino President, Marc Johnson, and Medical Director, Cheryl Hug-English, MD, MPH to students, faculty staff and other personnel at the w88 online casino of Nevada, Reno.
To the w88 online casino community:
Acting in an effort to promote the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff and the community we serve, the w88 online casino of Nevada, Reno made the decision today to enact alternate operations in a number of key areas. Although we are not closing campus, we are making a concerted effort to greatly reduce the collection of people on our campus in order to diminish the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). As of today, there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus on our campus.
These decisions have been informed by the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the outbreak of coronavirus throughout the world and in the United States. They have been made in consultation with w88 online casino administration, the Nevada System of Higher Education, and our partners in the public health community, including the Washoe County Health District and State of Nevada Public Behavioral Health. We are striving to minimize large gatherings and face-to-face contact that can occur in instruction, office hours and workspace, limit exposure posed by international travel and to stress flexibility and understanding for those affected by our decisions in order to effectively meet the challenges posed by the coronavirus outbreak.
Online Delivery of Classes:
The w88 online casino will begin online delivery of all for-credit academic courses Monday, March 23, the week following Spring Break. Faculty who are prepared to begin online instruction on March 23, should do so. Faculty who are not prepared to begin online delivery on March 23 may cancel classes on March 23 and/or March 24 in order to prepare to begin online delivery no later than March 25. If a faculty member chooses to cancel classes to prepare for online delivery, they are encouraged to provide alternative assignments or readings for students and/or to adjust the syllabus accordingly.
As a reminder Teaching & Learning Technologies has compiled an extensive list of resources to assist in delivering courses online. Faculty and teaching assistants are expected to complete any and all necessary work associated with their instructional/teaching assistantship responsibilities and are allowed on campus as necessary to do so. All faculty, staff, and w88 online casino have access to Zoom Pro, an enterprise video conferencing platform with real-time messaging and content sharing. This will help facilitate online course delivery and remote meetings. If you have a Basic account already it will automatically be upgraded to a Pro account in the next day or two. Instructions for setting up a new Zoom account, using Zoom, and w88 sports betting app web are found on the Teaching & Learning Technologies website.
