A Message From the Assistant Director of Content Development 

The Purdue OWL® is committed to supporting students and instructors of writing courses during this difficult time.  For this reason, we've directed our staff to assemble resources that can be used in writing courses that have recently had to shift to digital instruction. We will add these to our Remote Teaching Resources section as they are produced. Our sincerest thanks to our hard-working developers, without whom we would not be able to do this.

Please don't hesitate to contact us via our contact page if you're aware of any external resources that you think would help remote teachers.

All the best,
Garrett
