9 April 2020 | volume 1 issue 2

We have now been working from home for several weeks and have been hectically changing the way we teach, collaborate, and work. For many, there are additional complications as entire households are working and/or learning from home. According to Google, the trending search term is "bandana mask with hair ties," which was up 4,550% last week. 

This issue combines useful recourses (TEFLON and TLC) with a faculty member's unique take on three things that help, an appeal to complete Undergrad You (complete with vintage photos) and diversions.  We hope you enjoy FAN, issue 2. 

-The Faculty Affairs Team 


TEFLON
TEFLON, or Testing and Exams for Learning Online Now, is a new Canvas tool designed to help faculty learn more about online testing.

TLC
We all could use some these days. Teaching and Learning Continue is an online, searchable archive of all of the resources trailing through the inboxes of the Faculty Affairs team that are not date specific. Have some to add?
