Distance Learning
The East Coast is experiencing severe internet issues which affect internet connectivity as well as specific apps that are used for people working at home and in distance learning, such as Zoom and Seesaw.
Unfortunately, this wider issues also affects our distance learning program.
We ask all students to check if they have received messages via email, teams or seesaw. If not, please use the time wisely to continue your studies. Thank you for the flexible and good cooperation!
We all hope for a soon recovery of these technical issues long the entire East Coast. Find more details about this for example in this article in the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/01/26/internet-outage-east-coast/
Let’s make the best of this unforeseen situation.
Best regards,
Marc Aurel Löckmann
Acting Head of School
