In a high-speed pivot never seen before in post-secondary education in Canada, the COVID-19 pandemic upended every facet of academia. Almost overnight the system transitioned to remote teaching, empty campuses and research stoppages. Nursing school administrators were asked to make hundreds of decisions daily to ensure the safety of students, faculty and staff while maintaining education standards. Several months into the pandemic, circumstances are still far from normal as we continue to expect the unexpected and prepare to be nimble agents of change in the months ahead. This commentary outlines my observations as a faculty member during the past few months.
在加拿大高等教育中前所未见的一次高速转变中,新冠疫情颠覆了学术界的方方面面。几乎一夜之间,整个系统就过渡到了远程教学、校园空无一人以及研究停滞的状态。护理学院管理人员每天都要做出数百个决策,以确保学生、教师和工作人员的安全,同时维持教育标准。疫情已持续数月,情况仍远未恢复正常,因为我们仍不断期待着意外情况的出现,并准备好在未来几个月成为灵活应变的变革推动者。这篇评论概述了我作为一名教师在过去几个月中的观察。
