Experts weigh in on how the sudden, forced adoption of technology-delivered instruction will affect the well-being of professors and students alike.

Colleges are scrambling to move courses online. But with those changes come concerns over privacy and surveillance.

As the coronavirus forces many courses onto videoconferencing platforms, instructors and institutions can take small but important steps to ensure effective use and communication, Jody Greene writes.

Six in 10 online learning administrators say their campuses require professors to train before teaching online -- but 70 percent say students aren't formally prepared to study virtually.

While many colleges and universities have closed their libraries, others say they can't operate without keeping them open.

Because of COVID-19, most professors and students suddenly find themselves forced to use technology as they teach and learn. A panel of experts explores whether that will help or hurt attitudes about online education.

In response to a recent article about professors' responsibility to help prepare their students for careers, Rob Fried says students -- not instructors -- primarily own that responsibility. But the college has a role to play.

With the coronavirus outbreak forcing colleges to close campuses and move classes online, vendors face sudden upside. But the biggest beneficiaries are likely different in the long and short terms.
