With the COVID-19 epidemic occurring frequently throughout the country, combined with the current severe and complicated epidemic situation in Fujian and Xiamen, in order to minimize the flow of personnel and resolutely block the epidemic spreading to the campus, Xiamen University has issued the Notification No.2 on Campus Epidemic Prevention and ontrol. Since 10 O’clock on March 19, 2022, the school started closed management and fully implemented online teaching. After receiving the notice, International College took actions immediately, and scientifically deployed various teaching work. On March 21, International College fully carried out online teaching. There are 110 classes in Zhangzhou campus and Xiang'an campus of the foundation program of International College. 363 courses are expected to be opened this week. The courses include professional courses, English courses, Japanese courses, art courses and ideological and political courses. At present, the teaching is in order and the classes have been opened smoothly according to the original teaching schedule.

Attach great importance to the scientific arrangement of teaching work

In order to ensure the smooth progress of online teaching, the Party Committee of International College attached great importance to it. On the morning of March 20, the college quickly held an online teaching work meeting, established a teaching service guarantee team composed of administrative personnel, teaching secretaries, class counselors and technicians, and provided targeted learning assistance for each student and teaching resources and technical support for each teacher in combination with the actual teaching situation and the needs of current students, making every effort to ensure the smooth development of teaching work.

Improve Internal Skills to Guarantee Teaching Quality

To achieve the desired effect in class, teachers made full preparation before the class, on their desks, microphones, cameras, computers, earphones, cell phones and other devices come into play. After repeatedly reviewing lecture notes and courseware materials, and patiently testing various functions of the online platform to make sure that the operation is correct, the "anchors" started their classes at ease.

The teachers taught carefully and the students actively participated in the interaction. Before the class, the teacher will send the electronic version of the course materials to the class group or online platform in advance. During the class, students are encouraged to turn on the microphone, use the chat box, bullet screen or the voting function of the Tencent meeting to actively interact, which not only gives students the feeling of attending offline class, but also allows teachers to better collect feedback from students and provide targeted after-class tutoring, which effectively guarantees the original teaching progress and teaching quality.

Efficient Linkage and Strict Classroom Management

In order to ensure the same quality and efficiency of online teaching and offline teaching, the college strictly manages the online teaching process. The leaders of the Party Committee and members of the teaching committee participate in the teaching supervision, and make full use of the teaching platform data to grasp the progress of online teaching.

In order to strengthen classroom teaching management, standardize online classroom teaching order, strict attendance is carried out. The attendance data of students are simultaneously input into the educational administration system of the college, and the online learning status of students is included in the daily assessment. Each class is equipped with an administrative teacher as the "deputy head teacher". According to the class schedule, the deputy head teachers will attend classes and cooperate with the class counsellors to follow up the situation of each student. For those students who did not attend classes online in time, the "deputy head teacher" called to them to attend class as soon as possible, and set up learning files for each student, forms a daily class situation table, and timely provides feedback of students' class and school situation.

In response to the current situation of epidemic prevention and control, the college will continue to do a good job in the normalized daily management of epidemic prevention and control, strengthen the sense of responsibility, make the epidemic prevention and control work more precise, meticulous and practical, and further strengthen the campus security line of defense to protect the safety of teachers and students. All the perseverance will surely usher in a splendid bloom. Let us join hands to fight the "epidemic" together and look forward to the bloom of the spring flowers.
