各位老师：

新年好！按照上海市疫情防控工作要求，我校2月底前不开学，学生在开学前不提前返校。学校号召各位老师积极落实“停课不停教、不停学”的工作安排。

1.做好开学准备。推迟开学意味着假期的延长，但不意味着学习的中断。请各位授课教师利用信息化手段，通过多种形式，远程指导新学期选课学生预习相关内容，为后续上课做好知识储备，保障学生假期的教育增值。

2.开展在线教学。打好防控阻击战要有“战时”的工作方法和战斗的工作状态。学校拟基于ZOOM、CANVAS和“好大学在线”等在线教学平台，通过网络授课形式，开展新学期教学工作。请各位老师密切关注、积极配合教务处、研究生院和学院的工作安排，尤其是承担在线授课任务的教师和团队要主动适应教学新模式，努力提高在线教学质量。

3.落实毕业指导。针对本科毕业生，请指导教师以书面交流等方式对学生的毕业设计给予指导，引导学生开展前期准备工作；针对拟近期答辩的研究生，学校将通过视频形式进行答辩，请论文指导老师加强指导，严控论文质量。

4.加强远程指导。各位导师要关心学生身心健康,并充分利用网络文献阅读、召开视频组会等方式，指导学生居家学习、科研和论文撰写等工作，学校网络信息中心和图书馆等部门将提供相应技术支持。

此外，学校大力倡导广大教师居家研究、网上工作、珍视时间、积蓄能量，为全校教书育人、科学研究、社会服务更上一层楼作出贡献。

各位老师，上海交通大学始终与国家同向同行，相信在各位老师的大力支持下，我们一定能够开创特殊时期教学和科研工作的新局面！相信在我们的共同奋斗下，我们一定能够力克时艰、战胜疫情！最后，衷心祝愿各位老师及家人身体健康、阖家幸福！
