Arts & Humanities
- Humanities Coronavirus Syllabus Collaboration
- Virtual Museums & Online Collections
- KRITA, a free open source professional painting program
- Sketchbook App (recommended by Marina Mangubi in Studio Art: “it has a wide array of features for making drawings and annotating images. To draw on a computer, one needs a drawing tablet; on mobile devices, however, a finger is a good capacitive stylus. One significant advantage of Sketchbook is that the files it writes are small and easy to share. If anyone has questions, I’d be happy to help.”)
- Global Architectural History Teaching Collaborative: sign up for free, 70 modules (each consisting of between two and eight 80-minute lectures).
