As a result of Covid-19 it is increasingly likely that for UK Higher Education the start of the 2020/21 academic year will commence with online delivery. Many institutions are making preparations accordingly, and whilst all disciplines face issues delivering online content, mathematical sciences teaching poses particular pedagogical and technological challenges.

To assist with these preparations and avoid wasteful duplication of effort, we are running a two-day workshop. Given the interest in this workshop we intend to run a small number of follow-on events.
