Three quick updates from my desk.

1) I had something of a breakthrough (finally!) while working on my spring-semester course syllabus yesterday. For the benefit of other writers-who-teach who may also be having a rough time with that kind of work right now, I’ll mention two factors that really helped me out. First, my college’s Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) offered the first in a series of what are essentially virtual co-working sessions yesterday morning. They pointed us to some resources, and they kept open a breakout room for discussion, but essentially we were all working on our own.

The second factor? A very helpful Twitter thread on course design.
