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 the computer and the whiteboard

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:

The Student Experience:

  • During live class session – participants will be able to bring focus and increase size 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 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 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 am a heavy whiteboard user

For this scenario, to select the most appropriate whiteboard view, use the preset buttons on the classroom touch panel. 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.

Watch video of changing monitor in Screen Share.

Watch video of switching windows focus on single monitor.

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.
