[Community] NREN Support for Education During the Covid-19 Crisis

[Effah Amponsah]

Dear Community,

To minimise the negative impact of the COVID-19 on REN operations and on 
users, WACREN is happy to connect members to webinars and resources that 
will help to be innovative and better equipped to offer solutions to 
their users in order to scale some of the effects of the pandemic.

Please take note of the following meetings and resources:

1. There was a Zoom webinar on 'Organising Digital Conferences'. We 
missed

The video was recorded. WACREN will share when it is available.


2. Crisis Management Wiki

During the Covid-19 crisis, many of our organisations are moving to 
remote working for as many staff as possible and looking at how to 
manage business continuity. With this is mind, we would like to 
recommend the Crisis management wiki of our partner GEANT where you will 
find a lot of crisis management material:

3. Wiki for Educational Resources and Best Practices

GEANT has also created a shared wiki space for the community about 
educational resources and best practices:

4. Videoconferencing platform Zoom

We encourage the use of online tools for meetings. WACREN would like to 
remind members that a videoconferencing service using Zoom is available 
as part of the WACREN service portfolio. For more information and 
subscription to this service, please contact cso at wacren.net.

Do all stay safe.

Thank you
WACREN Secretariat
