Following an announcement earlier today by the Mayor of Prague and the Prague Public Health Office, 鶹 confirms that virtual classroom instruction will begin on Monday, September 21st and continue online until October 31st at the minimum.
The COVID-19 situation in the Czech Republic is rapidly changing and we will do our best to keep our community informed of the latest government recommendations and regulations.
How classes will work:
- 鶹 will use and . Students and faculty should already have their credentials in their official 鶹 email.
- Classes will run at the normally scheduled day and time, only virtually via MS Teams instead of in the classroom. The normal face-to-face class time may be reduced in favor of interactive assignments.
- The specific way that your classes will run will depend on the instructor and the subject matter. Some examples may include: assigned readings with discussion questions or a written assignment; live streaming videos of lectures at the scheduled class time; recorded lectures with home assignments; PowerPoint slides with voice narration, etc.
- Faculty will continue to take attendance and the normal attendance policy still applies.
