The school has contacted those who might have come into contact with the person and asked them to self-isolate. The staff member worked in a clinic, which has been closed for cleaning.
The faculty member had not been to work since showing symptoms, Stanford University said.
Meanwhile, in an online letter published late Thursday, Provost Persis Drell announced that for the last two weeks of the winter quarter, beginning March 9, classes at Stanford would not meet in person.
“To the extent feasible, we will be moving classes to online formats in place of in-person instruction,” Drell said.

Yep.
For my class that's taught in Japanese, just the real-time conversation in and of itself is important. But also, there are a lot of things I do to help students understand that rely on us all being in the same room. Sigh. Also, in the second half of the semester, in preparation for a group project, I have students bring their computers and work in groups and I walk around and help. You'd think this kind of activity could easily be moved online, with students Skyping with their groups. Well, except, then I can't move back and forth, see the progression, help when needed, have one group help another.... etc. etc....quote:I'm not sure what can be accomplished in terms of class discussion through Zoom, but it won't be the same.
I am testing out Zoom, it's better than I expected. I like that students can see a powerpoint, or a "whiteboard" that I can write on, all while they still can see me and (I believe) each other. We'll see how that works with a whole class of students, instead of a small group of teachers.
