Clemson University will conduct an academic continuity eLearning exercise Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2020, and all classes will be taught online that day. The exercise will focus on assessing the University’s instructors’ readiness and ability to deliver instruction using online tools and methods, and instructional strategies appropriate for situations where face-to-face instruction is not possible.
Faculty and staff who teach will be involved in the exercise, and only face-to-face instruction will be moved online. Because the focus of the exercise is to assess teaching readiness, for staff who do not teach, Feb. 19 will be business as usual. The University will remain open to everyone and for all other business.
