For students:

Whether or not you’ve wanted to take an online class, the COVID-19 pandemic in winter and spring 2020 taught us all a lesson: sometimes, we just can’t meet in person to learn. For a few months, at least, we’ve all had to experience what it’s like to learn from a distance, and that’s meant needing to use technology in new and often uncomfortable ways.

I’ve added a few updates to this online book to reflect the strange situation of spring and summer 2020 in particular. You’ll see more notes about paying attention to health and healthy limits, along with advice about setting reasonable expectations within a unreasonable situation.
