Harvard just announced that all their courses will be online for the upcoming school year due to pandemic. This includes all undergrad and graduate courses. Harvard becomes one of the first universities to announce they will be fully online for the year. Other universities may follow suit soon.

I found this to be important because Harvard may be the first of many institutions to announce they are going fully online for the year, or at least the fall. I was surprised to see they went online for the entire year, as spring semester is still a long time away. As more universities go this route, a new fold is added to how covid has affected life and history. Unlike any other class before, many students will now have the unique and unknown experience of online higher education from traditionally in person schools.
