Teachers and students all over the world have scrambled to get into a groove with distance learning via the Internet. This is old stuff for Numedeon, a company that has been researching and providing online educational content for years.
Numedeon opened Whyville, a social learning environment for kids, in 1999. And a recently-awarded National Science Foundation grant will help add to Whyville's offerings about COVID-19.
Numedeon's CEO is James Bower, a professor emeritus of biology at Southern Oregon University. He visits with a sketch of Whyville's history and the road ahead.
