'Haiti is reeling:' Earthquake survivors overwhelm hospitals in disaster-hit nation

(CNN)-Hospitals in Haiti are completely overwhelmed by survivors of Saturday's 7.2-

magnitude earthquake and urgently need help to treat them, medical staff say.

The quake, which struck the southwest of the country, left at least 2,189 dead and more than
12,268 injured, the country's civil protection agency said Wednesday. Search and rescue efforts
are being hampered by a lack of resources and by heavy rains, which have caused mudslides that
blocked roads in the region.
In an address Wednesday, Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry urged his country to "unite to
rebuild Haiti," adding that the government is committed to providing aid to affected areas.

The Ants & the Grasshopper

One bright day in late autumn a family of Ants were bustling about
in the warm sunshine, drying out the grain they had stored up during the
summer, when a starving Grasshopper, his fiddle under his arm, came up
and humbly begged for a bite to eat.
"What!" cried the Ants in surprise, "haven't you stored anything
away for the winter? What in the world were you doing all last summer?"
"I didn't have time to store up any food," whined the Grasshopper;
"I was so busy making music that before I knew it the summer was gone."
The Ants shrugged their shoulders in disgust.
"Making music, were you?" they cried. "Very well; now dance!" And
they turned their backs on the Grasshopper and went on with their work.
There's a time for work and a time for play.

Some Tips for Online Learning During COVID-19

It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has forced all of us to make substantial changes to
our daily lives. Businesses have, where possible, moved to remote work; K-12 schools have by
necessity embraced distance learning; and many college students who had formerly been
enrolled in on-campus courses now find themselves in unanticipated online learning.

Below are some tips that you can use to successfully adjust your study habits during the
transition to fully online learning.

Tips for Taking Online Classes

1. Look ahead to understand your assignment due dates.
Typically, students who take online courses interact with the subject matter and their
assignments through a learning management system (LMS). Online classes at Regis, for
example, take place through Moodle; other popular tools include Blackboard and Canvas.
Whichever LMS your courses utilize, it’s crucial that you spend time familiarizing
yourself with the interface and with your specific assignments. Look ahead at your
scheduled assignments, and take particular note of your due dates so that you can better
craft a realistic plan for completing all of your work.
“In an online class, things typically run in a modular format, where you might not have
the normal structure of a face to face class,” says Small. “You often don’t have that
physical reminder of being in the classroom that work is due. There’s a lot going on in an
online class, and students need to organize their time.”

2. Set time to study and work in batches.

At Regis, as at other universities, many students pursue their education alongside other
responsibilities and obligations. Work, childcare, family obligations, internships and the
like all compete for your time and attention, making it critical that you create a schedule
that allows you to meet all of those challenges.
“Chunking tasks, as I like to call it, gives students a way to feel accomplished,” says
Small. “You feel like you’re progressing. Additionally, scheduling time specifically
dedicated to studying will help you build and stay on a routine.”

3. Communicate regularly for group projects.

College courses often include group projects and assignments designed to be completed
alongside others in your class. This fact is just as true for online courses as it is for in-
person courses. But whereas in-person courses facilitate group projects by bringing
groups together face-to-face, online learners must take particular care to ensure that they
are communicating effectively, says Small.
Whether it is via Zoom, email, phone call, instant message, shared documents, or another
form of communication altogether, groups must prioritize communication if they are to
avoid confusion.
“Find a system that works for everyone in the group, and follow up frequently,” says
Small.
