All higher education\ninstitutions in Macao have further postponed class resumption as a response to\nthe continuation of the novel coronavirus outbreak. The University of Macau\n(UM) has been dedicated to promoting online teaching and learning. For this\nreason, UM students can continue to engage in learning via distance education\nresources, such as massive open online courses (MOOC) platforms, to keep\nacquiring knowledge during class suspension.<\/p>
Before official class\nresumption, UM will make use of distant learning resources to keep students\nlearning and to provide academic guidance. Students will receive equivalent\nacademic results and credits upon completing the assignments and exams online\naccording to the original course curriculum. UM will ensure that course\nmaterials and information are provided to students in advance via appropriate\nchannels. The university will also announce the schedule, style, and content of\nonline lectures in a timely manner. In addition, advisors of master\u2019s students\nand PhD students will continue to provide academic guidance via different\nonline platforms.<\/p>
UM has launched various online\nlearning resources in the past, including the university\u2019s first English MOOC\ncourse launched on XuetangX in 2018, for students and those who are interested\nto learn. Participants can access the online courses without time and space restrictions.<\/p>
Depending on the situation, UM\nmay hold additional lectures in the evening or on weekends to ensure that\nstudents can complete their learning tasks based on the original curriculum.\nThe university may also implement special measures to prevent delays in\nstudents\u2019 graduation that are caused by the epidemic outbreak.<\/p>
In addition, as the class\nresumption dates of UM as well as mainland universities remain uncertain, UM\nwill make appropriate arrangements accordingly for students whose plans to join\nexchange programmes in mainland China have been affected by the outbreak.<\/p>
