COVID-19: Learning Resources Available During This Pandemic

With the COVID-19 pandemic taking place, most of our members have had a halt in placements, face-to-face teaching in their respective universities. In this difficult time, we have received help from various online platforms to enhance the online learning experience for our members here at MMI.
