COVID-19 Resources
Virtual 9th Floor Lounge. A Slack channel to chat about philosophy, the virus, life… whatever. This also has a “teaching” channel to easily exchange information and ask questions related to remote classes. Please join Slack if you haven’t already.
Teaching Remotely
Online instruction will begin for all classes on Monday, March 30, and continue for the remainder of the semester.
Stellar site. Where anyone in L&P can put resources about online teaching. Everyone on ling-phil@mit.edu should have instructor access.
Demo
Zoom: it’s well-designed, flexible, and pretty intuitive.
How to get Zoom: Download and install the “Zoom Client for Meetings“. Then open Zoom, click “sign in”, and sign up using your MIT email address. More detailed instructions here. You can test your video and audio and play around with Zoom by joining a test meeting.
