We felt it imperative to underscore the importance of open access, specifically open science, in times of crisis.

- ABC LD and the challenges of online
ABC learning design is a widely used ‘sprint’ method to help busy university and college teachers review and redesign their courses for blended modes. Originally run as face-to-face workshops, in just 90 minutes teaching teams work together to create a visual ‘storyboard’ of activities representing the student journey. Assessment methods, programme-level themes and institutional policies can all be integrated easily. International ABC user groups soon emerged to share ideas, translations and localisations.
