from Sarah Freeman, Director of Communications, Grady College (03/17/2020) :

Good afternoon, Faculty and Staff — the campus communicators (StratComm) had a conference call this morning where several online campus resources were shared. While I am sure most of you have heard about some of these, there may be others you have not heard about so I thought I would share the list:

Main UGA Coronavirus Website (UGA’s most authoritative website; updated regularly and includes links to other resources, FAQ, directory of all Arch New announcements, etc.)

Research Operations during COVID-19 (extensive Q&A about research-related issues)

OVPI Teaching and Learning Continuity resources (includes links to CTL guide for teaching during disruptions and other online resources)

Division of Academic Enhancement

EITS resources

Online Learning resources: Rapid Guide to Online Teaching (needs access through ELC) and a place to register with Instructional Designers

UGA Libraries (includes place where faculty can request articles to be scanned or streamed, as well as place they can request e-books)

Critical UGA IT Services for Business Continuity

Normal University business and classes can be disrupted by events and unforeseen circumstances such as weather, natural disasters, or health concerns. In many cases, faculty and staff may continue to teach and conduct business remotely using technology resources available to everyone at UGA.
