From Stanford University…Below are a few articles that I thought were useful, and that have been written amidst the Coronavirus outbreak:

- (This article is basically just a laundry list of resources, updated continuously, but basically compiles all kinds of different software and online teaching resources that are offering free or discounted access to their products)
