<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have been asked to provide an update to Faculty on our preparations for teaching in the new academic year. We are mainly doing this using the “traffics light” spreadsheet that you can access here:
<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Er75ChMAvf5P2ExYsDD8qO70pcZqmyko6RsArTmTj2I/edit#gid=789197955">

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have not already done so, please can you add the information for your class(es) as soon as possible. Please can you also update this with any changes (for example, resits now having taken place), as the document needs to be sent
to Faculty by the end of the day. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As part of our report, we have also been asked if we have any questions about teaching in the new academic year that we would like raised in university level groups. To remind you,<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color:#222222;background:white"> </span></span><span style="color:#222222;background:white">the
first 2-3 weeks of learning and teaching will be presented predominantly online. We will then transition to blended learning mode of delivery with arrangements made depending upon priorities, discipline, level of study and course requirements. This may include
a combination of face-to-face teaching, group working, project supervision and appropriate lab work, online sessions/workshops, tutorials and on-campus learning activities. The timetable will be the same as usual.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
