Currently, education systems around the world are taking measures to organize education in the context of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
Ulyanovsk State Technical University (UlSTU) has taken a whole range of measures to protect students and staff from coronavirus.
First of all there is a specialized platform which allows for uninterrupted learning. This mission has an objective to maintain the relationship with the students locked down home and reassure them as well as their families about the fate of the courses and the diplomas. Nevertheless, academic staff were not ready to switch to total distance learning and some were completely not familiar with eLearning platforms. For this, the Department of Information Technologies of the University worked very hard to organize distance learning. Also using this platform it is possible to find out the latest news about vaccination, mask regime and all the conditions for being healthy in such a difficult period.
Besides that all buildings on campus are equipped with sanitizers, masks and disinfecting mats. They are available to students and staff. Daily wet cleaning and sanitation are carried out in all buildings. Vaccination of staff and students is conducted. The level of vaccination reaches 85 %.
UlSTU has complied with the full range of measures to ensure safe learning in a pandemic.
