Report from the Working Groups

EduIG

The first EduIG VM was held successfully on Aug 31. At the virtual meeting we want to exchange experiences we made with remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic around the globe. Roughly following the COVID-19 outbreak timeline, 7 speakers were invited from 5 different continents to share their experiences and feelings. Feedback for the VM are very positive. It was the result of close collaboration among IVOA EduIG, IAU DAEPO WG and IAU OAD office. Further collaboration projects were initiated at the workshop. The following discussion has started.
