It's just past 10 a.m. and my partner, on his third virtual meeting today, is working nonstop in our home office. My son has taken over the family room to attend a virtual science camp and video-editing classes and to play video games. I now realize that this will be his workspace to attend distance learning classes in the fall.

But now I'm faced with teaching online this fall and won't have access to my campus office, which closed in March.
