Q1. What is an eLearning day?
An eLearning a day is an online instructional day for faculty and students for all classrooms across the state. On this day, there will be no in-classroom instruction (including laboratory and studio courses) at any Clemson University location including main campus, the Advanced Materials Research Lab (Anderson), CU-ICAR (Greenville) and CURI (Charleston) among others. The eLearning environment applies to classroom instruction only. Students involved in out-of-classroom setting activities, such as clinicals or filed placements, should continue their assignments as usual.
