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. 

Image Removed

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.

 Security Settings

To avoid these disruptions during your lecture we recommend the following security settings:

  • Disable – Share Screen. You can change this setting when you want them to share.  Disabling screen share will prevent surprises.

  • Disable - Rename Themselves. Prevent anonymous participants.

  • Disable - Unmute Themselves.  You can enable this at an appropriate point in the class session.  This setting is recommended primarily to ensure a good recording.  The video displayed in Zoom will follow the last speaker.  If you are using the classroom camera to capture the whiteboard, the recording will be interrupted by every cough, squeak or paper tussling by class participants which will blank the image of the whiteboard.

 Chat Settings:

We have administratively set restrictions so that participants cannot send messages to each other but allow them to send chat messages that are seen by all.  If you wish to restrict this further, you may want to restrict students to send chat only to yourself (Host Only)

Sharing Computer Sound:

 If you are playing a video or need the participants to hear other sounds from your computer, Enable – Share Computer Sound

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 the computer and the whiteboard

This is the primary use case that the recommended settings were designed to accommodate. With these settings, you can utilize the in-class camera to focus on the whiteboard, while also recording your computer content (PowerPoint, Excel, spreadsheets, etc.) and have them recorded in a side by side view.You will utilize “Share Screen” and “Stop Share” throughout your lecture to change the focus to either the computer content or the whiteboard content as needed. You can also change the whiteboards being recorded at any time by choosing between the available presets:

  • Share your Screen – Keep in mind that when in the classrooms, there are two monitors and they will show up in this screen as well. They will read Monitor 1 and Monitor 2, the numbers will also be shown on the monitors themselves, to ensure you chose the proper monitor.

  • Record your Zoom Session

    1. Image Removed

  • When you end your class session, Zoom will store your class recording in the cloud and copy the recording to Kaltura. Zoom cloud storage is limited, so we have set the auto-delete timer to 7 days after the recording date. This should allow plenty of time for the copy to be made to Kaltura for long term storage. You will be sent an email notice as items are due to be deleted as a reminder to verify that the copy was completed. If desired, you may download a copy from Zoom to your computer as well.

  • Link the video on Kaltura to your course in eLC for student access.

Here’s an example from a recorded session:

The Student Experience:

  • During live class session – participants will be able to bring focus and increase size on of either their view of the computer shared screen or their view of the camera, as they desire using Zoom features.

  • Viewing Recording – If you are in “Share Screen Mode” participants will see the shared screen and the camera in a side-by-side view. Participants may need to adjust the view on their browser to size the two windows evenly (usually Ctrl+ or Ctrl- to enlarge or decrease the size)thumbnail view.

    • Share Screen Mode

    • Stop Share - To ensure the whiteboard is readable on the recording be sure to “Stop Share” to bring the camera view back as the central focus.

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 . This is done 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.

Also select Video Settings which will bring up this inteface:

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.

titleHybrid Teaching Strategies

For Fall 2020 instructions options, see this CTL guide.

  • Flipping the classroom: lectures as pre-recorded and delivered ahead of time in eLC. In-person class time becomes project/activity time, review of “muddiest concepts,” or in-depth discussion. See examples of faculty discussing their experiences here:

  • Hyflex: in-person courses are designed with online students in mind.

    • A common example is a Zoom meeting (set to record) of classroom lectures or activities so that students can attend online. Ideally, both online and in-person students would be able to interact instructor/peers in real-time via the chat feature, audio, or screen share.

    • May involve the creation of an online version specific elements in addition to in-person activity. For example, while students attending in-person will participate in a in-class discussion on a topic. Students attending online will engage in eLC discussion boards and other ways in such as VoiceThreads, Kahoot!, TopHat etc.

    • Faculty may assign a student or TA to moderate the session. It is difficult to manage virtual and in-person student participate. If possible, a TA or student in the class should monitor the Zoom chat for any questions from virtual students.

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.
