Please be aware that as GW and other universities move to online instruction, most employers are also moving to telework, and most K12 students are at home using the internet for various activities. Given that we will be operating under unprecedented circumstances, it is essential to plan for the possibility of service degradation or interruption due to the load on the overall network.
If you plan only to use synchronous communication to conduct classes, please develop a plan B in case your internet service at home is unable to connect to Blackboard Collaborate or WebEx during your class session.
If you experience this sort of interruption, don’t panic. Contact the Instructional Core at InstructionCore@gwu.edu. We also ask that to control communications in light of a disruption, minimize communications and speak directly with the Instructional Core, we will in turn provide information based communications to the GW community.
