In Class Procedure:

  1. Log in to Zoom from podium PC.

  2. Start your Zoom Session for your class

  3. Check the following settings:

Participants Settings

  • Enable - Mute participants on Entry    

  • Disable – Allow Participants to Unmute Themselves.  Again, this is to prevent noise from disrupting the recording.

 

Sharing Computer Sound:

If you are playing a video or something else with sound from your computer and you need the participants to hear it , then enable “Share Computer Sound”.

Audio Settings:

Within the classrooms, these are the appropriate selections for audio.  These should be preset. 

If you have audio problems, please check these Zoom settings.

If audio is still not working, please use the classroom control panel.  Audio follows the last “pick & poke” action you took.  If you used “pick & poke” to blank one of the projectors, that will also mute the audio.  To enable audio, “pick & poke” a monitor to one of the projectors or the confidence monitor.

Watch the video of the pick & poke interface.

titleUse Case: I typically only use the computer for class material

The use case will be familiar as it is likely that you have operated in a similar fashion during the Spring Online pivot.

Use “Share Screen” to provide content visibility to the students.

You can also be more open about allowing students to unmute themselves during the session as the shift in video focus will not disrupt the content you are conveying.

titleUse Case: I primarily use a Document Camera

To utilize the DocCam for the Zoom session, you will need to change the source of the video feed and turn off Mirrored Image. Do this through the Zoom interface.

  • Click the up arrow next to the Video icon in Zoom.

  • Select HoverCam.

If you need to alternate the view between the classroom camera and the Hovercam, you will need to switch back and forth between AV Bridge (classroom cameras) and the Hovercam.

Watch video of switching cameras.

Also select Video Settings which will bring up this inteface:

Deselect “Mirror my video”. This will ensure that the image projected within the classroom is oriented properly for the students in the classroom. Students at a distance will see the Doc Cam image properly regardless of this setting.

titleUse Case: I rely on dual monitor for contrast and comparison

Unfortunately, Zoom does not record multiple monitors simultaneously.  You will need to switch the screen share between the two monitors or move all applications to a single monitor and bring the windows to the front as needed for the lecture.

Watch video of changing monitor in Screen Share.

Watch video of switching windows focus on single monitor.

titleTeaching Outside of BLC

  • In order to make hyflex instructions possible, you will need to have a camera, microphone, and a computer. These will ensure faculty has means to interact with the students attending the class virtually. Face-to-face classes can be streamed live and/or recorded for later playback in eLC.

  • Review the list of non-blc classrooms being used by Terry faculty in Fall 2020 to review their current technology. Terry OIT will reach out to faculty teaching outside of BLC to assist with equipment needs.

See teaching set ups and options in low-tech (no podium PC or cameras) and in fully integrated spaces with video conferencing options.

  • Teaching options in low tech classrooms: no pc, mics or cameras.
    Watch the the video of the set up in Caldwell 102 and view the Zoom recording of the session.

titleIn-Person Attendance Groups

Attendance groups for Fall 2020 will be up to instructors to assign. However, some units may decide to assign en masse. One tool to assist in the management of these groups is the eLC groups tool. For example, groups can be set to self-enroll. You can share communication and resources with these groups via the groups discussion board. Also, see this resource on sign-up sheets in eLC. 

Watch the quick video tutorial.
