Open resources are very useful in the pivot to online education as has happened the past few weeks, due to the corona crisis. Many overviews of open resources aimed at supporting teachers and staff in this endeavour have been published and are still being published and updated. See my previous blogpost<\/a> (in Dutch)\u00a0 for some examples in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

But open resources are also useful for learning about the corona virus and the COVID-19 disease it causes. Several of these resources have been published the past few weeks. Here an overview of resources I found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
