Students across the nation are now taking their classes online for the rest of the semester because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and student workers at Texas State find themselves having to beat a new learning curve. Bobcat Update's Sami Dugdale has the story.

On March 19th, the university sent a campus-wide email announcing that classes would be moved to remote delivery following spring break. This meant a quick transition for student workers who rely on campus resources to do their jobs. Texas State Supplemental Instructor Parker Brockman says he's working longer hours than before but is confident in his ability to teach the rest of the semester.

Zoom is the video conferencing website that the university has chosen to deliver classes online. Student workers, such as supplemental instructors and teaching assistants, are expected to become well acquainted with Zoom's features. Supplemental Instructor Elizabeth Holley says that having her sessions on Zoom is a different approach, but she appreciates the technology.

Remote delivery for Texas State courses has now been extended through Summer I session. For Bobcat Update, I'm Sami Dugdale.
