   Etherpad hosted on Piet Zwart Institute Experimental Publishing server
They aren't any less private that regular etherpads on riseup or whatever, but they are hosted on an internal WdKA/PZI server. So in case you want to be strict-ish about HR regulations that we use only "official" HR software, this pad may be a workaround. Do not post private or sensitive information on these pads (student emails, phone numbers, etc...). They are not private, and also GDPR.

   Teaching Effectively During Times of Disruption

SHORT URL: https://bit.ly/stanfordteachingdisruption LONG URL: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ccsudB2vwZ_GJYoKlFzGbtnmftGcXwCIwxzf-jkkoCU/mobilebasic Stanford University guide to teaching in times of COVID-19. Looks like they are subscribed to Google online VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) by the tools that they recommend using. Interesting section on synchronous vs asynchronous teaching. Extensive Zoom tutorial.

   Be willing to switch tactics if something isn’t working. Above all, stay focused on making sure the students are comfortable, and keep a close eye on the course learning goals--while you might not be able to teach something exactly the way you imagined, as long as you’re still meeting the learning goals of the course, you’re doing fine.



   Italy's Ministero dell'Istruzione (Ministry of Education) official guide to teaching at a distance.

Rest of Europe could learn from the first responder.

   University of Hong Kong: Teaching and Learning Arrangement (Updated February 10)

Note that the policy began with 2 weeks of (self-directed?) online learning, then 2 weeks recess for teachers to redesign their courses to fit online needs. 

   Jason Coe (HK academic) ZOOM Meeting: https://youtu.be/NFQO_lDBjEA

K: Jason Coe is a hk academic who is very good with online learning. He shares plenty of stuff on fb. C: some of the features mentioned in this chat were not available on my upgraded version but not mega uber pro account (breakout room function), also others did not see option to raise hands, all attendees were using free version 

   Distance-Learning Tips for Gallatin Arts Workshops: Getting Started

Authors: Teachers at Arts Faculty, NYU Gallatin Source: Crowdsourced Google Doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sCy0T8-0_B8vPvQoh8jjGtyyOGys40_HwiNUfcOM_s4/edit?fbclid=IwAR1ypJ8uDK2GgGba5fMQnND2pUWtZPi-m2ttsIPrIYquyi6anHJm7qG8XaE Below are a few ideas for moving forward with adjusting course content and structuring class sessions. The suggestions are intended as offers rather than directives or prescriptions. There is much expertise among us and now is a great time for us to collaborate and learn from one another. They are recommending using Zoom and give specific applications for the software; which features work best in which learning situation. This is an extremely useful resource for art and design distance-learning. 

   Some working questions:

   Engage with the circumstances of the moment. What does it mean to teach art-making in the 21st century? What are the students noticing about institutional response to crisis? Industry response? What can this moment teach about the world we live in and the fields we work in?  

   How might these online formats stimulate ways to think about environments, space, and time? For example: what might be ways to “build environments for the screen” or think about the bounded screen as a kind of theatrical space? 

   How might students collaborate in this new space? For example: working in pairs or groups to create projects that are shared and built upon remotely?
