Remote Work
The transition from working in-person to remotely can be difficult. However, there are resources, strategies, and technology available to make this shift seamless. Please note it is important to check with your Information Technology (IT) department to determine if these programs and software are safe and appropriate for your work environment.
OSU Employees
The Ohio State University has pulled together a list of pre-approved tools for your convienence. Therefore, if you are an OSU employee, you do not need to recieve further approval from IT to utelize these resources. They can be viewed by visiting:
- Keep Working (Remote Working Resources)
- Keep Teaching (Online, Hybrid, and In-Person Teaching Resources)
- Keep Learning (Online, Hybrid, and In-Person Learning Resources)
Non-OSU Employees
If you are a non-OSU employee or will seek approval, consider these additional gadgets assembled by the Futuring Team within the Leadership Center. Not all of these products are available on all devices. Additionally, a "*" indicates it may only be utilizes as an app.

Team Building
The team building resources presented on our site come from Building Dynamic Groups, a kit developed by three OSU Extension professionals: Barbara Brahm, Beth Flynn, and Nancy Stehulak. The activites they developed can be used with staff, committees, boards, collaborations, partnerships, coalitions, ad hoc groups, task forces, and other groups to build their inner relationships, become dynamic, and function at their best.
Funding for this project was provided through the Community Development Group of Ohio State University Extension
