Dear students, faculty, and staff, 

 

We would like to inform you of a dramatic change to instruction and student learning at NKUST.

 

All traditional in-person classroom instruction will be transitioned to distance learning where teaching is provided remotely on a digital platform.

 

A. E-learning tutorial for students and faculty can be found on the following useful links:

 

1. Campus E-learning Tutorials: https://acad.nkust.edu.tw/p/412-1004-5614.php?Lang=zh-tw

 

2. Related Q&A on Campus Computer and Network Center: https://cc.nkust.edu.tw/p/405-1025-29865,c3713.php or https://eng.nkust.edu.tw/p/404-1131-44390.php?Lang=en

3. Software Downloads and Installation Instructions: https://acad.nkust.edu.tw/p/412-1004-5559.php

 

B. Following the fast spread of COVID-19 cases these days, we will adopt distance education or e-learning starting from May 17 to Jun 27 in order to protect the safety of our students and faculty.

 

This unplanned, rapid, and abrupt transition certainly presents challenges to both faculty and students.

 

Thus, all necessary software tools, tutorials, and information are provided immediately on the above links to guild you to get to know how to teach and learn in an online setting.

 

Please be advised to read and learn how to start your online learning journey this weekend.

 

C. To safeguard teaching expertise standards, the faculty lectured online must keep a record of the teaching process and give clear instruction to students about how their performances would be evaluated.

 

The digital records are important and will be taken into consideration for the assessment of teaching appraisal by the Ministry of Education.

 

And we recommend the faculty pay more attention to students to build a successful online education together.

 

Be Together Online. We will be stronger.
