As part of the ¹ú²úÈý¼¶Æ¬Digital Campus, the Office of Communications is launching a new video series in which staff and faculty members share their views on how the Covid-19 pandemic will affect their fields of study. Each week, we’ll take on new topics – starting with episode one from AUP’s Provost, Dr. William Fisher, who discusses how ¹ú²úÈý¼¶Æ¬moved from on-campus teaching to remote learning procedures in five days flat.
