Resources for COVID-19 Learning

In a survey leading up the Spring 2020 version of UCI course ICS 3 (Internet Technologies and Their Social Impact), the majority of students expressed anxiety about transitioning to 100% online instruction. This is completely understandable. The changes we have all been forced to make have altered our learning environments and made things difficult for many, but especially undergraduates.

Below you’ll find an annotated list of resources for students that I hope will help you find ways to adjust.  I’ll update this as I find more to add and in response to student needs.

UCI students can also email me with specific concerns about anything, course related or not: cullena@uci.edu
