As part of UW-Madison’s ongoing response to COVID-19, the university has dedicated over a dozen teams (listed below) to focus directly on instructional continuity. The teams consist of representatives from across campus including faculty, staff, students, leadership and governance. The teams are working – in partnership with school, college, departmental and other academic leadership, and in coordination with the university’s broader response – to provide guidance and support for safe, effective and engaged instruction and learning.
Across the teams, these are the key areas of focus:
- Health safety for in-person learning
- Effective in-person learning in a physically distanced format
- Effective remote learning
- Communications
The teams are overseen by Steve Cramer, vice provost for instructional continuity and academic affairs; Jeff Russell, vice provost for lifelong learning, and dean, Division of Continuing Studies; and Lois Brooks, vice provost for information technology and chief information officer.
