Remote Instruction Resources

Here are resources for delivering classes using online tools such as Moodle, Google Classroom, Google Meet, or Google Drive.

Resources for Art, Music, Dance, and Theater Courses

Art, Dance, Music, or Theater classes may require other resources to help with teaching concepts, etc in a distance learning environment. Here are some resources and groups to consider as you develop content.

Virtual Lab Resources

Lab courses may require specialized material, equipment, software, hardware that is not accessible in a remote teaching situation. Here are some resources to help you think about how to proceed with lab classes.

Investigate the possibility of using virtual lab options for some lab activities. Although they may not be optimal, these can be adequate for accomplishing some learning goals:
