Recently, UiO started using Zoom for both digital teaching and video meetings, and the use of Zoom at UiO has seen tremendous growth in the past weeks. But with the use of new tools new questions arise. Here, UiO's head of IT security Espen Gr?ndahl answers the most important questions.
This past week, digital interaction at the University of Oslo has increased significantly amongst both students and staff. The number of subject fields offering digital teaching is on the rise.
These days, most students and staff work from home. This is a temporary solution, and we will return to our original workplaces when the situation has improved.
Until then, here are some tips on how to work from home if you are unfamiliar with this work situation.
There is a pandemic, and campus is closed. You have been ordered to stay at home, while studying has moved into the internet.
Friday, 20 March, the University of Oslo is opening a Helpdesk for digital services for students and staff.
Health science students at UiO are a valuable resource in the current situation faced by our healthcare system. Earlier this week, the Directorate of Health asked all qualified personnel to sign up, and now the students can also be contacted directly to work as reserve staff in the national health service.
This has been an extremely demanding week. Day by day, it became clearer that we had to increase our efforts to protect ourselves against the coronavirus (COVID-19). The seriousness of the situation was emphasised when the Government on Thursday introduced the most stringent measures ever in peacetime. Now, as a university and as individuals, we must do everything we can to contribute to the national and global ?dugnad? that we all are part of right now.
