Universities have had to quickly incorporate and adjust existing technical resources to accommodate this abrupt transition. This has also involved professors and researchers who may not possess a natural, technological…

After years of steady growth and a pandemic-related explosion, online learning has become a common format for college courses. This shift has helped institutions by keeping the virtual door open during emergencies, broadening their pool of potential students, and decreasing brick-and-mortar operating costs. We know less, however, about how online…
