March 2020: A pandemic rages. College campuses across America shut down. In a panic, five college professors — four of them untenured, under-compensated “freeway flyers” who make up the majority of college teachers — sign up for a course: "7 Secrets of Teaching Online."

Still, during this time of quarantine and disruption, these educators, by sharing their secrets, learn the power of human connection.
