Emergency Alert

The University of the District of Columbia’s academic and administrative offices will move to remote operations as of 12:30 p.m. today, Monday, March 16. All on-campus activities, including athletics, are cancelled.

Staff: Contact your immediate supervisor with questions or for further instruction regarding remote work expectations.

Faculty: Reach out to your immediate supervisor and/or the dean for questions and further instruction regarding the transition to emergency remote instruction (ERI).

Students: Due to inclement weather, the university will be closed to in-person operations as of 12:30 p.m. today, Monday, March 16. Instruction will be moved to emergency remote, including synchronous and asynchronous methods. Certain laboratory, clinical and other hands-on classes for which in-person instruction is a requirement may necessitate a make-up lesson, but every effort will be made to pursue virtual learning to the extent possible. Where synchronous virtual instruction is intended, published class meeting times must be observed so that students’ schedules are not disrupted.

The safety and security of our students, faculty, staff and the broader community remain our top priority. We will continue to provide updates regarding the status of the university’s academic and administrative offices as conditions change.

Please continue to check our website and social media channels for the latest information.

If you have any safety concerns, contact OPSEM at 202-274-5050. For all immediate emergencies, call 911.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our students and to UDC’s mission.

Quality Matters Testimonial - Kristi Wilson

Profile Picture for Kristi Wilson.

Kristi Wilson, Ph.D.

Adjunct Professor
UDC Community College (CC)

Creating a Quality Matters (QM) certified online course requires time, attention to detail, and a commitment to integrating key elements to ensure success on the first submission. One of the challenges I faced was finding time to work on edits during an already hectic work week. Fortunately, CAL was understanding and flexible, supporting me throughout the process.

Having access to workshops and a knowledgeable QM team at UDC was incredibly beneficial. Their expertise provided clarity on how to effectively incorporate examples that crystallized learning objectives and ensured alignment with the course framework. The incorporation of Hypothesis which allows for  annotation of readings proved to be an excellent tool for peer learning, fostering deeper connections between course concepts.

Additionally, the incorporation of UDL principles such as creating opportunities for students to produce video content for team assignments enriched their learning experience. These aspects help foster a strong sense of community within the course which is a major element of the QM review for online courses. These elements combined to create a more student centered, engaging and impactful online learning environment.
