Coming Soon: Additional Teaching Resources

I’m aware that one of the consequences of the Covid-19 outbreak has been a temporary shift to online teaching. I’m mindful of this, and I am currently in the process of putting together additional teaching resources that I hope will help. These are aimed at universities in the first instance, but they could be adapted for school use. I will soon (in the next week) have some editable Word documents, with questions AND suggested answers. Because of the latter, I will share these via a forum that you will need to register to access. Please check back soon.
