For German
The German Studies Organisation or Irelad (GSAI) has created a new plattform for collecting and sharing online materials. The plattform serves to ask for advice and discuss issues related to pedagogy and assessment. It can be used to compare different technologies and methods or simply as a free-to-use repository of useful material.
To get involved in the platform, you need to get registered first and create your own username. Please follow this link: https://germaninireland.wordpress.com/2020/04/09/remote-teaching-learning-forum/
