See below for email lists and resources to share remote learning ideas with colleagues in your subject area, as well as curricular resources and teaching modules for remote learning.
Sharing Ideas by Subject Area:
Planning for distance learning often varies by subject area, so we encourage sharing ideas by Program area, across campuses.
Those with plans or suggestions to share might consider posting them to the relevant Program email lists so that colleagues at other campuses can also see them. Those lists are:
