COVID-19 has dramatically impacted our schools, communities, and our students' learning. Here at Fresno Pacific University Continuing Education, our commitment is to make sure everyone has access to the best possible learning resources in the classroom and at home, even in times of uncertainty.
We are all in uncharted territory and we are being asked to do things differently. Working together, we can provide the right response to these challenges. Below is a list of resources you can use today to keep students learning from the classroom to the home. We will continuously update this page with new resources that we locate. If you have any good online resources that you want to share with us, please let us know using the Contact Us link. Remember, there is hope in our tomorrows and each morning brings a brand new day! We are better together.
