This fourteenth “Teach" newsletter is devoted to information about the four teaching methods for the start of the new academic year in September 2020. You will also find details on the support offer of the “Centre de soutien à l’enseignement” (CSE), which is being reinforced during the summer.
The autumn semester in 2020 is fast approaching and we are already well aware that it will not take place under usual conditions and that it will be marked by new challenges. We have identified four teaching modalities for the start of the new school year in 2020:
In this perspective, the course design methodology known as Hy-Flex (hybrid and flexible teaching) would allow us to teach according to these four modalities that we could be implementing depending on the health situation and the underlying constraints that will result.
These four modalities will be supported by a system for capturing, broadcasting and recording the courses which will be available in about thirty classrooms on our different campuses. A mobile system capable of covering about a hundred other recordings will also be made available for the start of the autumn semester in 2020. More information on this new infrastructure set up by the IT Centre, UNICOM and the Centre de soutien à l’enseignement (CSE) will be communicated to you during the summer.
In accordance with the discussions of the Coronacell's "teaching" working group, your respective faculties and schools will send you more specific information concerning the organization of teaching for the start of the upcoming new academic year.
The CSE strengthens its summer support offer
In order to support you in the preparation of your courses for next semester in Hy-Flex mode, the Centre de soutien à l’enseignement (CSE) has developed a training offer composed of 24 webinars (who will take place every day from Monday to Friday and will be given several times, duration 1h30) and 7 online Labs (duration 1h00) which will be offered between July 1st and September 25th, 2020. The list of these courses and their registration modalities are available here: https://conference.unil.ch/cours/cse. Some of these courses will be given in English.

You also have the possibility of meeting a CSE pedagogical advisor to prepare your teaching for the start of the new academic year during the online pedagogical permanence via Zoom without appointment. These sessions will take place from Monday to Friday from 10.00 to 11.00 am. It is also possible to make an appointment with a pedagogical advisor for a pedagogical consultation on the Dorigny campus or via Zoom by contacting : elearning@unil.ch.
