The Prairie View A&M University Virtual Teaching & Learning Solution is designed to help faculty stay connected with their students during regular semester terms when in-person attendance is not possible. This solution is particularly useful in situations such as adverse weather conditions, when faculty are away on official university business, or when students with special permissions are unable to attend classes in person. By offering a flexible virtual teaching platform, the university ensures academic continuity and equitable access to education, regardless of the challenges that may arise.
This guide provides resources to assist faculty with quickly shifting from face-to-face style instruction to an online environment. The ultimate goal is to insure students are able to continue learning despite the inability to physically get to a classroom.
