I'm seeing this at schools all over the country; it's fantastic.
University of New Orleans, my school, is trying to establish the semester off-site. They're restoring email today, and I expect I'll find out what I can do to help. I may be teaching my courses via Blackboard, or in another town in Louisiana.
One of the texts I'm teaching in a special topics lit course is Octavia Butler's "Parable of the Sower," set in a speculative, future Los Angeles where people live behind gates and dodge armed gangs roaming the streets looking for drugs and cars. Yikes.
Good work!
University of Virginia is doing this also.
