After a weeklong spring break, about 46,000 students and 9,700 faculty and staff are swapping face-to-face courses for virtual classrooms as they transition to online learning. The significant move for the remainder of the semester is in response to the global health crisis and an effort to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We know that it is not what they were expecting when they signed up for the semester,&rdquo; said <abbr title=\"University of Hawaii\">UH<\/abbr> President <strong>David Lassner<\/strong>. This is taking place all across the United States and other countries as well. We think our students are very well equipped to adapt fully to online learning, most of them have already taken one or more online classes.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhfoundation.org\/give\/giving-opportunity\/covid-19\">Support the <abbr>UH<\/abbr> Student Relief fund and COVID-19 research<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Ironing out concerns<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/system-online-student-laptop-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"person typing on laptop\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-114174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/system-online-student-laptop-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/system-online-student-laptop-130x73.jpg 130w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/system-online-student-laptop-630x353.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/system-online-student-laptop.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many faculty expressed concerns about the transition to online delivery of courses.
