I taught Labour Economics in the Fall of 2020 and created several videos and google sheets for pandemic-teaching. Other instructors may (or may not) find the following useful for their students:
Short videos to explain topics in each Chapter. (Based on the 8th edition of the text, but with some 9th edition updates) The playlist includes videos for downloading data from ODESI and how to run a simple wage regression using the Labour Force Survey in Stata.
Income maintenance programs in Canada google spreadsheet – allows students to manipulate some basic program parameters for the CWB, OAS, EI and Social Assistance, with somewhat realistic budgets involved.
Defined Benefit Pension Incentives: I created a simple example that closely aligns with a Chapter 4 Exhibit (9th edition), helping students understand how pension parameters matter for choosing a retirement age.
