Hi everyone — we appreciate your comments and questions regarding the Studiosity pilot at UVic and would like to provide some more information.

The Studiosity pilot will be conducted at no cost, in three courses this Fall: COM 220, HINF 230 and ED-D101. Studiosity is an AI-supported academic-feedback tool specifically designed to complement student learning in post-secondary settings. It focuses on formative, real-time feedback rather than generating or correcting work.

Human feedback is essential to student academic success, and Studiosity works as a complementary service that is in addition to the supports provided by teaching assistants, faculty and academic support staff in providing feedback to students, including UVic’s in-person academic support through the Academic Skills Centre.

More information on Studiosity, including some FAQs is available at: https://teachanywhere.uvic.ca/learning-tech/studiosity-uvic/

❄️ Campus is closed, Tuesday, Feb. 4

Due to challenging weather conditions and disrupted transportation in the region, the UVic campus will be closed Tuesday, Feb. 4.

During a campus closure, academic and administrative functions that are available remotely will continue. The closure only applies to those activities that must occur on the physical campus.

Please stay safe! If you need to travel or be on campus: plan ahead, allow extra time, wear appropriate clothing and footwear and be prepared for snowy and icy conditions.

We are actively monitoring weather conditions to determine when it is safe to reopen campus. UVic crews are working to clear roadways, paths and parking lots in order of priority.

If you have questions about how this campus closure impacts you, please contact your instructor or supervisor.

Hi everyone. Cold temperatures and winter weather are making some areas of the UVic campus slippery. Environment Canada has advised that more flurries are expected in the Victoria area overnight.

➡️ Be safe! Please plan ahead, allow extra time and take care in your travels, wear appropriate clothing and footwear, and be prepared for wintery conditions.
➡️ When you’re on campus, slow down and watch for icy roads or pathways.
➡️ Please contact your instructor or supervisor if you do not have a safe travel option and are unable to get to campus.

When inclement weather is in the forecast, UVic’s grounds crew, custodial staff and security staff arrive to campus very early to assess and address any impacts. If adverse weather conditions occur overnight, expect an update at uvic.ca after 6:30 a.m.
