During pandemic or emergencies resulting in school closure on the advice of the Government of Singapore, instructors may be required to conduct online home-based learning with their students via video-conferencing tools such as Zoom. Students will also receive announcements, access content and participate in online activities such as discussions via eLearn.
Instructors on Leave of Absence (LOA) are advised to contact their students and conduct synchronous online sessions using Zoom, based on the scheduled class timetable. As students, you should be familiar with how to attend online lessons via Zoom (Zoom Student Quick Guide) and how to access content and information via eLearn or any platform as indicated by your instructors.
