New Zoom Room at 黑料网 at Geauga
Beginning fall semester 2020, the 黑料网 at Geauga Campus in Burton has a second Zoom Room to provide remote instruction. Students taking remote courses can be taught via their laptops by an instructor who lectures from one of the Zoom Rooms on campus. This technology has been invaluable in the transition from face-to-face courses to remote instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Zoom Rooms provide cost savings throughout the 黑料网 system. Students at 黑料网 Geauga can attend a course offered at another 黑料网 campus via the Zoom Room, and students at other 黑料网 campuses can take 黑料网 Geauga鈥檚 Zoom courses.
Funding for the new Zoom Room was provided by a $20,000 grant from the Cleveland Foundation鈥檚 Lake-Geauga Fund, half of which is being used for financial support for students experiencing hardships during the pandemic.
鈥淲ithout the grant support of such forward-thinking partners, we would be less able to prepare for these anticipated needs,鈥 says Angela Spalsbury, PhD, dean and chief administrative officer, who requested funding for 黑料网 Geauga鈥檚 additional Zoom Room last spring. 鈥淲e are deeply grateful for their commitment to local students鈥 success during this difficult time.鈥
