【新冠肺炎】英国多个大学改为线上授课
针对COVID-19疫情的进一步发展,Cranfield University考虑到师生由于疫情的不确定性所引起的不安及顾虑,特做出一些调整。
以下措施将从3月16日(星期一)起生效:
Cranfield Campus - 取消本学年剩下的所有面对面授课,后续的授课及评估方式,学院会及时通知学生,并承诺确保学生能够顺利完成他们的学位。如果学生决定回国,请联系SAS团队。
Shrivenham Campus - 国防学院面授课程目前仍在照常进行。
Research Degree - 对于就读研究型学位课程的学生,如果决定回国,请第一时间与导师联系。
University remains open - 大学将继续开放以便于为学生提供服务。
从本周起,英国亚伯大学将陆续调整授课模式,将一些课程改为线上教学,并计划于2020年3月23日起,实施全面线上教学。我们希望通过线上教学的模式,减小聚集活动可能会导致的疫情传播问题的发生。
本周,部分院系依然有线下授课课程。我们理解学生针对疫情的担忧,如若本周学生们决定不参与课程,也请严格按照请假流程,向院系级导师请假。有关后续考试相关事宜的运行举措,亚伯大学也同样正积极内部沟通中。
在此期间,如有意向回国的学生,请和自己的个人导师联络,确保后续学业正常完成以及学生签证有效性等问题。在回国的路程中,请做好防疫措施,并时刻关注自己所定的航班情况、转机国家落地政策及归国隔离政策。

4.杜伦大学
Dear students
This email contains an important coronavirus update. Please take the time to read it carefully.
The health and wellbeing of the Durham University community and the wider communities within which we sit must be the primary concern of all of us at this time. Following advice from Public Health England, we will shortly be implementing new actions to keep our communities healthy by reducing potential exposure to coronavirus. Durham University will remain open next week but we will be organising some of our core activities differently.
Before turning to details, I would like to stress the importance to every one of the need to follow the guidance provided by the NHS to limit the spread of Covid-19. Also, if you do feel unwell, please dial 111 and do not go to your GP or pharmacist.
Moving teaching online
Classroom-based teaching will continue as usual until the end of this week (Friday 13 March).
But, from Monday 16 March until the end of Term (Friday 20 March), classroom teaching of all forms (including small group teaching, practicals, field classes, one-to-one meetings etc.), will cease. Please do not turn up to classrooms next week.
Instead, teaching will be delivered next week but it will be online as far as possible.
If you wish to leave Durham following your last class this week, you can do so. Others of you will stay in Durham but will not be able to access your classrooms next week. We will make every effort to ensure that all of you can participate in classes remotely until the Easter break. You will also be able to access online materials over the Easter break for revision purposes.
The Library will remain open.
These decisions have not been taken lightly and are similar to those taken at other leading universities around the world. They are designed to reduce the immediate risk of infection to yourself, our staff and our wider community.
We know that this may be not be your preferred method of learning and that being in classrooms is an important part of your university experience. However, moving to online learning will help limit exposure to Covid-19 by reducing group activities. This will help all of as the coronavirus spreads.
Your Department will be in touch shortly with more information on what this will mean for you and details on how you can access online resources to support your learning.
Accommodation
College accommodation will operate as usual next week. If you live in a Durham University College on a term-time only let and can no longer travel over the Easter vacation, please talk to your College’s Student Support Office about accommodation options. You can find contact details on our website.
In this rapidly changing situation, we ask that you regularly check our Covid-19 webpages, where we are constantly updating Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and all staff and student messages relating to coronavirus are displayed.
Please know that all of DU’s staff are committed to making sure that your learning continues, and that you get the inspiring Durham University education that you joined us to get. Please be assured that those of you who looking forward to graduating this summer will be able to complete your degrees. And, speaking on behalf of the University, I also want to stress how much we appreciate your help and understanding at this challenging time.
