[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] Gwangju University (President Kim Hyuk-jong) announced on the 14th that the 2021 fall semester classes will be operated in a hybrid format of face-to-face and non-face-to-face.

On the same day, Gwangju University met with representatives of student self-governing bodies, including the student council, at the student union meeting room to gather opinions and made this decision.

Face-to-face classes are allowed for courses with an enrollment of 30 students or fewer, and the classroom and laboratory capacity must be no more than half.

If face-to-face classes are deemed unavoidable, the instructor may conduct the class through team teaching or classroom changes in consultation with the students.

In addition, students who have difficulty attending due to reasons such as residing in other regions will be recognized for attendance through separate content provision and assignment methods, and disadvantages for those who do not attend face-to-face classes will be prohibited.

Meanwhile, the class operation method may change depending on adjustments to social distancing levels by the government or local governments, and non-face-to-face classes will be conducted using real-time video conferencing (ZOOM) and online video methods utilizing e-Campus.
