Zoom Meeting Schedule to your eLC Course
in eLC

  1. Create an announcement, add a link to your course navbar, or create a link in Content to share meeting information with your students.

  • Get familiar with Zoom Common Controls and Teaching Tips

    • Add Zoom Meeting Schedule to your eLC Course

    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.

    <pick and poke video>

     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)

    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

        Image Added

      • 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.

    titleUse Case: I am a heavy whiteboard user

    For this scenario, you will be using to select the most appropriate whiteboard view, use the preset buttons on the classroom touch panel to select the most appropriate whiteboard view. You may want to switch between views to bring focus to specific content or as you expand to utilize more whiteboard space.

    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.

    Note: This application is only available in BLC classrooms. This is not a synchronous tool. Students will not be able to attend the live class. This solution is meant to record the class and make it available immediately after.

    FIRST STEP:  Login to https://media.online.uga.edu/ and log in with Myid and Password if you are not sure you have ever used Kaltura. Doing this creates your id in the system.

    In the Classroom:

    • Turn the system on using the touch panel and log in to the podium PC using your Myid and Password.

    • Adjust the audio and camera settings using the touch panel:

    • Audio settings on the Touch Panel

      • Tap on the Audio tab (see image below). 

      • Make sure all microphones are on and the volume is raised. Use the speaker buttons in each microphone category to control settings. Make sure the "mute" option is not selected. If you see red color in the square it means that microphone is disabled. In the picture below, wireless mics are disabled. Podium and Ceiling mics are enabled.

    Camera Settings on the Touch Panel

    • Tap the Camera tab (see image below). By default you will see three presets.

      • Presenter Wide Shot

      • Presenter Close-up

      • Classroom Wide Shot

    • Select the preferred option. If you are recording a lecture, select Presenter Wide Shot. If you want to change an angle of the camera, zoom-in or zoom-out, double tap the Camera tab. This will show you the Camera Control on the bottom of the touch panel. Select a preset and change the settings of and use arrows to position the camera. Launch Kaltura Classroom Application to view/adjust camera angle results.

    Input Settings

    There are multiple options and choices for selecting recording inputs. You may configure up to four devices, screen or camera, as inputs. In the Kaltura Lecture Capture Home Page, the default selection is a camera as the Primary Video and the screen as the Secondary Video. You can use the settings to configure the quality of recording, or choose a different recording input. You can either remove inputs completely or disable them for a specific recording by clicking on the input icon.

    By default, all inputs are configured to the highest quality available, so you can just start recording. If you would like to change any of the settings for the camera, screen or audio, please use the following information to modify the configuration settings.

    Check Your Audio Settings

    1. Run a quick audio test by saying your name or welcoming your students to the class as you would during your lecture. Make sure the green bars, in the Audio section of the screen, move up and down and are at high levels. 

    2. If bars don't show, are low, or don't change as you speak, return to the touch panel audio tab.

    Check Camera Settings

    1. Make sure you can see the video from the room in the Primary Input area (left side of the screen). 

    2. If you don't see an image, return to the touch panel camera tab.

    Record Your Lecture:

    1. Select the pencil icon next to "New Recording" to add a title to your video. Also make sure you add your Myid in the "User ID/Name" field to the video can be linked back to you or your course. 

      Image Removed

    2. To begin recording, select the large red recording button on the middle of the screen. You will be able to pause, and stop recordings by pressing the same area. You may also minimize the application once you recording is running.

    Completing and uploading video recording

    1. After you "stop" your recording, you will be directed to the entry page. If you clicked stop by mistake, you can always click cancel and you will be returned to your recording in a paused state. If you want to complete the recording, make sure you have entered the title of the recording and your myid in the User Name field.

    2. As a default, your videos will be saved and uploaded the Kaltura's server after you stop and end your recording session. If prompted, do not select Delete or X to delete your entry.

    In-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.
