I found this to be an excellent overview of challenges we are facing with testing & assessment, amplified by online platforms we are using. We are being compelled to think differently about how students learn, how we evaluate what they have learned, & fundamentally how we teach.
There are lots of ways to cheat on exam. But many instructors are especially worried about tutoring sites like Chegg, on which students can post a question and get an answer back in minutes. chroni.cl/31yAc4B

With Commencement exercises postponed, the @unevadareno community has pulled together in an effort to celebrate its graduates online. Virtual Celebrations offer Nevada graduates a way to share their accomplishments as they finish their degrees. #PackPride
