The initial lack of online infrastructure and skill sets to do TnL online stressed the staff and students.

This was resolved with clear directions, narrowing down the options from top down. This is further strengthened by intentional training and tech support to help staff and students transit to online platforms. Open mindset of staff also helped.

The 2 schools have different cultures and this was seen in most of what we do, starting from how we call our AORs to how we teach in class. There was also some uneasiness over how we should transit into ASRJC. For example, will the HOD favour a teacher or a way of doing things based on which school the HOD is from?

LTs had to reduce capacity and follow safe-distancing measures, lectures were forced to be converted to HBL mode or reduced to only selected classes.

In the periods between waves of covid infections, there's constantly changing guidelines to keep up to and gets confusing.

IP: We learn from 2 schools' good practices and tap on 2 pools of T&L resources. Our staff strength was above quota so we had the manpower to see through the merging, consolidation, and reviewing of curriculum plans, T&L resources, question banks, etc. Through the process, we have a newer product that is the essence of what is best of both worlds. The review process was powerful because we cover each other's blind spots and through the process, eg "why did SR/AJ do that?", we get to clarify our strategies, thought-process, and belief system.

Enabled the students and the staff to envision what the ASR experience will be for the first batch of ASR students. It was also a great opportunity for the students planning the event to demonstrate their heart to serve, a common goal of both AJ and SR, as they went beyond their own interests and served the needs of their juniors. This helped to kickstart the envisioning of the type of college culture that we wanted.

Via various channels/platforms, students are given more opportunities to speak and present to the college or larger audiences beyond the classroom. This could potentially contribute to their growth as effective communicators and allow them to gain greater confidence in this area as well.

IP: Took us a lot of time to merge our content, pedagogy and assessment philosophy/strategies. In the long run it paid off because we got stronger based on best of both worlds, but the trade off is that IP meetings were used mainly for this kind of work rather than pedagogical innovation and review based on our 'new' profile of students. What helped was that we have extra manpower in each department to support.
