Recent activities at the University of Malta : Gozo Campus

Abstract

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, the University of Malta was constrained to adjust to a different routine in the delivery of lectures. Technological facilities made it possible for both lecturers and students to stay at home and connect with each other through a number of online platforms. Consequently, all lectures of the courses being held at the Gozo Campus started to be delivered online. This made it possible for the complete delivery of all study-units in time for the end-of-semester assessment process. Similar to lecturing, the pandemic brought a change in the way students were assessed. A number of exams were held remotely through a number of online assessment platforms. The assessment of other study units consisted of the submission of assignments. It was only in September that a number of examinations were held physically. As in previous years Gozitan students following courses at the Msida Campus, were allowed to sit for these exams in Gozo. [excerpt]
