The short answer is yes, but it’s different. It can be a rich learning experience that in many cases can be a more interesting, more engaging, more exciting, and is a multi-channel approach that is student centred. Are there unknowns within this new frontier of online learning? Absolutely, but we’re all learning our way through it, and as always we’re in this together. At UWindsor you have the tools to belong, to do, to create, to have an impact on your world, and we’re here to help you along the way. We’re a resilient community that’s committed to your future and to making your learning experience a great one, no matter what the delivery method is.
What is online learning Student Support
At the University of Windsor, we have been teaching online for a long time. Nearly one-third of our students currently take at least one course online. Many of our professors already embed virtual components in their courses in addition to face-to-face interactions in a physical classroom. And many of those same professors are award-winning teachers and instructional designers – experts in innovative educational technologies. Online learning is nothing new at the University of Windsor; it’s just that for Fall 2020 we are taking what we already do so well and ramping it up for all students, investing significantly in new discipline-specific software, virtual access to high-end on-campus computing, enhancement to server infrastructure, video management, and solutions for examination delivery.
Our commitment is to provide a great learning environment for every University of Windsor student. I am enormously proud of what our entire campus community is doing to prepare for September, and I am confident that our students will have an engaged, dynamic UWindsor experience in Fall 2020.
