I currently maintain several resources concerning higher education and the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.
I’ll keep this post about them on the top of my page as long as it can be useful during the pandemic.
I launched this post on March 9, 2020.
- A list of resources for keeping track of the virus, including dashboards, official sources, experts on social media, open access content, libguides, etc.
- A range of posts about COVID-19 and its impact on academia.
- Live video events: Chronicle of Higher Education; EdSurge; Future Trends Forum.

Also, see my twitter feed where I’ve posted several resources for K-12 educators. You might find some of that interesting, even if not Higher-Ed focused.
University travel restrictions.

Bryan this is awesome as I’m sure you know. One of the things we are grappling with now is alternative activities for STEM labs, dance, art practice, etc. Any chance that you might think about crowd sourcing that specifically?
How would we categorize that: subjects most difficult to do online?
Yes, that’s it, and learning modalities difficult to replicate online? Science labs are for multiple disciplines…
o Science Labs – LeighAnn Tomaswick from Kent State University started this one already

The University of South Carolina just extended Spring Break, according to a front-page newspaper article in the Post & Courier (Charleston).
When will the list be upstated with more recent closures? Like Mt Holyoke, Bowling Green State and Cornell?
As we can get ’em there!
Penn State University Park just sent a text to students saying classes would be remote starting next week. Athletes still on campus this week were told they are to stay on campus.
The University of Virginia is moving to all online courses through the end of spring semester.

Also, residence halls are closing at both colleges until further notice.

Northwestern University, as well – https://www.northwestern.edu/coronavirus-covid-19-updates/
Does anyone have a list of resources for sharing with faculty as they prepare to take their courses online?
I should have specified –
I mean resources that give them quick information on how to convert their face-to-face courses with online versions. Our eLearning team is spending a lot of time creating and curating our own lists and tutorials this week.
Thank you!

Bryan, I’d be interested in a piece on how to educate governmental leaders, both elected and otherwise, to be more competent both preceding and during crises. How is this done now? By whom? How many government leaders actually receive such education and training? What resources can they turn to? How can voters determine if these leaders have the skills required to do their jobs? Etc.
University travel restrictions.
Inspiring article. I admire the valuable information you offer in your articles.
Thanks

Alice Cooper predicted this in 1972.
School’s Out
No more pencils no more books
No more teacher’s dirty looks
Out for summer
Out till fall
We might not come back at all
School’s out forever
School’s out for summer
School’s out with fever
School’s out completely
