Chonnam National University to Replace Classes with 'Remote Learning' for Two Weeks After Semester Start

e-Class Remote Classes... Laboratory Practice Make-up Within the Semester

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chonnam National University announced on the 5th that it will conduct remote classes for two weeks starting from the opening day on the 16th to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

On the same day, Chonnam National University decided at an emergency academic affairs meeting to completely block in-person classes by attending school until the 27th and conduct remote classes to prevent the spread of COVID-19. They also decided to consider extending the remote class period depending on the situation.

To this end, using the existing e-class system, they plan to prevent class loss through ▲ assignment-based classes ▲ online remote classes ▲ substitution by taking similar courses from K-MOOK or Korea National Open University ▲ and make-up classes later.

In particular, for online classes, various programs such as EverLec will be used, and real-time video lectures through MS Office365 Teams will also be actively supported.

Laboratory and practical courses that are difficult to conduct through remote classes will be postponed until next month, and make-up classes will be completed within the semester by utilizing weekday mornings and nights, weekends, holidays, and public holidays.

A Chonnam National University official said, “Even if about 1,200 faculty members and about 25,000 students conduct remote classes simultaneously, the necessary connection capacity is sufficiently secured,” and added, “However, since this is an unprecedented situation, we plan to re-examine the overall situation from the network to English manuals for international students to maximize the qualitative level of remote classes.”
