Strategies and resources for teaching your physics course online on short notice
March 24, 2020
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us teaching physics as well as those teaching other subjects in face-to-face brick-and-mortar classrooms have suddenly found themselves in an unprecedented situation: the rest of the term should immediately transition to a completely online format! Here I outline some strategies and resources that can help you and your colleagues.
I suddenly have to move my face-to-face physics/astronomy course online! What should I do?
March 13, 2020
