  • Preparing for a Potential Outbreak of Swine Flu

    October 1, 2009
    This one-hour webinar will offer perspectives from two universities—each with their own experience with business continuity planning.

    Australia's Curtin University has experienced the implications of swine (H1N1) flu on and off campus. Martin Hill, manager of Curtin's lecture capture service, will provide an overview of the university's plans for continuing academic operations and communications in the event that students cannot come to campus.

    Steve Ryan, Director of the Centre for Learning Technology at the London School of Economics will highlight LSE's proposed "Pandemic Teaching Report" which documents the institution's teaching and learning response to two possible pandemic scenarios. LSE's comprehensive response includes multiple technologies, including lecture capture, a learning management system and more.

  • Thinking Ahead:
    Preparing for a Potential Outbreak of Swine Flu

    September 2, 2009
    While universities in the United Kingdom prepare continuity strategies in the event of a swine flu outbreak this winter, Echo360 is facilitating a conversation for its community members surrounding their strategies during such emergencies.

    This complimentary webinar offers perspectives from Australia's Curtin University -one institution that has experienced the implications of swine (H1N1) flu on and off their campus. Martin Hill, manager of Curtin's lecture capture service, will provide an overview of the university's plans for continuing academic operations and communications in the event students cannot come to campus.

    Topics of this webinar include:

    - How swine flu impacted Curtin's operations, including the temporary closing of one department during the academic year

    - How instructors can utilise the institution's library of 40,000 lecture recordings to keep students up-to-date with learning activities during emergencies

    - How Curtin's instructors and students use personal capture to stay connected from satellite campuses located in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong

    - How continuity planning fits into Curtin's comprehensive strategy for campus-wide lecture capture
