CAVE HILL CAMPUS BARBADOS
Professor R. Clive Landis Pro Vice-Chancellor and Principal
The 2022/2023 academic session marked a notable return to face-to-face instructional methods for the Campus, signalling a shift from predominantly virtual teaching and learning necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was supplemented to a much lesser extent by synchronous and asynchronous online delivery, utilising the Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Blackboard Collaborate platforms. Examinations were also held in- person for the first time since December 2019. While transition to in-person teaching and assessment was largely seamless and welcomed by students and faculty, certain remote practices have been retained to improve operations coming out of the pandemic. At the start of the academic year, a new space was added to the teaching plant, namely the Old Mutual Building in Bridgetown (“UWI in the City”), which serves as
a multi-purpose teaching, training and technology hub. New offerings from the Faculty of Culture, the Creative and Performing Arts — the BA and BFA in Music — are delivered from that facility.
