All teaching to move online – as Spanish architecture school explains how it went fully virtual in two weeks

The LSE, home to the internationally respected LSE Cities urban studies centre led by Ricky Burdett, said in a statement issued this afternoon that this summer’s exams would also move online or be conducted via another method, with students to be informed as soon as the details have been worked out. Academic staff have until April 20 to upload new forms of online assessment. The graduation ceremony planned for July will also be rescheduled.
