College's OIT provides personal assistance during COVID-19
When public health concerns about the pandemic hit UGA’s campus in early March, the University System of Georgia temporarily transitioned to telework options for staff and faculty.
“We were all anxiously awaiting what was to come,” said Nicholas Holt, the Office of Information Technology’s (OIT) director of innovation. With the help of Jeff Rieter and Kayla Flanagan, the Innovation in Teaching team supports faculty with emerging learning tools and pedagogy and serves as the College’s collaborative administrators for eLearning Commons (eLC).
Holt believes the relationships and concerted efforts of community building over the past couple of years helped ease this rapid transition.
