With many universities and colleges needing to rapidly move to online learning, teachers are left scrambling for ways to quick assemble materials that can be used for virtual learning. Several institutions and professors have offered up readily available online resources that can be used to virtual teach cartography and GIS courses. Also worth reading is Anthony Robinson’s Twitter thread on strategies for moving quickly to online teaching.
