Going back to school on a virtual campus

In today’s Big Story podcast, when Canadian campuses shut down, there wasn’t a lot of time to make plans. Students needed to get home safely, if they could. Professors needed to set up virtual classes in a week or two—and nobody really had any idea when they might be back on campus.

GUESTS: Professor Ken Dyment, Student Stephanie Bai
