In response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, the community of chemistry educators around the country are coming together to share resources as we all scramble to meet our learning objectives. These lists continue to grow every day, and they can help us find quality resources to use in our lecture and laboratory courses. If we don't have to reinvent the wheel in the presentation of a given topic, we can instead focus our energy on holding synchronized problem-solving sessions, creating assignments, and assessing student work.
