GIJ goes online; matters arising

Management of the institute announced new arrangements in studies from in-person to online after two weeks of studies. 

Already, students have raised concerns about their inability to login to their LMS portals even after using their valid credentials. 

Again, there has come up a fundamental question of why we have had to go back online to continue with academic work after a few weeks of face-to-face studies. 

Whiles time for the resumption of face-to-face studies isn't known, some students are questioning why we will go online when our brothers and sisters at the basic level continue with physical studies.

The more, many students fear having to once again, go through challenges like they did when examinations were written online. 

Students have complained about these issues and even indicate how the mishaps in the system affected the performance of continuing and completing students. 

Whiles students of the Institute look forward to getting answers to the worries and questions they have, it will also be prudent that properly structured plans are outlined for all students to know and quickly adapt to this new normal as management's communique advised. 

Data provisions promised students from the previous semester for instance have not been provided. Again, the issue of students having problems with their login needs to be addressed urgently as well. 

To a large extent, responses from students are not fully prepared to comply to the new directives.

The core of this is the need to make the necessary amendments where needed, to help have a smooth flow of studies.
