[LINK] Online Teaching is Here Now

[Tom Worthington]

Casual teaching staff at some Australian universities are reported to be 
"panicking" over the implications of students who are unable to get to 
campus due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus:

Last week I was helping teach a hundred new tutors how to teach, and 
there were no signs of panic. Well, no more panic than any group of 
teaching assistants about to face their first class.

The same tools already used by Australian universities for blended 
learning can also used for online learning. Staff and students are 
already familiar with these tools.
