The Astronomy Center has provided educational resources to introductory astronomy educators since 2003. Over the past 20 years, the rapid pace of discovery has rendered some of our linked resources obsolete. Thus, the Astronomy Center will be decommissioned on March 1, 2022. Our highest quality resources will be retained on ComPADRE.org.
This essay provides help for instructors needing to teach their courses online. It includes both basic principles and considerations for running a remote class and a list of resources that can used for the transition.
This is part of a collection of Expert Recommendations on PhysPort, written to help instructors with their classes.
