[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Dongshin University (President Choi Il) announced on the 4th that in order to prevent the spread of 'COVID-19', classes after the semester begins on the 16th will be replaced with 'online lectures' and other remote classes.


Remote classes will be conducted for two weeks starting from the 16th, and the schedule may change depending on the spread of COVID-19 infections.


During this period, enrolled students will attend online lectures directly produced by professors in the university's e-learning center studios and research labs using Dongshin University's Learning Management System (LMS).


Use of external educational content such as K-MOOC courses or YouTube, as well as assignment registration and submission, will also be conducted through the LMS according to the characteristics of each department and the discretion of professors.


For students who are quarantined or receiving treatment due to COVID-19, the scope of officially recognized absences will be temporarily expanded for one semester.


Measures to support sign language and shorthand will also be promptly prepared to ensure that the learning rights of students with disabilities are not infringed.


Meanwhile, Dongshin University has installed and is operating thermal imaging cameras in dormitories, the International Education Center, and the Central Library, where student traffic is frequent.


Additionally, the university has established the 'COVID-19 Crisis Management Headquarters' and plans to conduct disinfection and quarantine work for all classrooms from the 6th to the 9th, and for all buildings of the four dormitories on the 10th and 11th to prevent COVID-19 infections.



Choi Il, president of Dongshin University, said, “The school will do everything it can to ensure that enrolled students are safe from COVID-19 infections.”
