ZOOM PROONLINE INSTRUCTION & RECORDINGS 

Zoom (Links to an external site.) is both a synchronous and asynchronous application that allows you to communicate and/or record instruction online.  It also transcribes the audio so students can view closed captioning. This is a great resource for instructors to use when creating videos!!

You can also watchthis video (Links to an external site.) or this video (Links to an external site.) showing you how to host a class in Zoom

Check out the Zoom Help Center (Links to an external site.).

Synchronous instruction: Invite students and guest speakers into a live class where you share your computer screen and make a recording of it to post for review. Zoom doesn't require a special download to participate. The TLC is happy to work with you to help you get setup. (Links to an external site.)

Breakout Rooms: view a video on how to use breakout rooms Links to an external site. in Zoom. Students can meet in small groups and the faculty member can control the rooms and close them to return all students back to the main meeting. 

Asynchronous instruction: Record your lesson and post it for review with follow up questions as an assignment. The TLC can get you setup and even show you how to get your audio transcribed automatically! 

Finally, after students review your recordings, have them answer related questions (in the form of an assignment) to prove they have watched it and reflect on the learning. You can use a variety of ways to collect these assignments.

IMPORTANT FERPA INFORMATION

  • Follow FERPA guidelines! When using any recording features such as Zoom or Panopto, or conducting virtual office hours, ensure that students have privacy when discussing grades, feedback, or other classroom questions. If recording a live session, be sure to close all personal applications on your computer, show your Canvas pages in "student view" (to prevent accidental sharing of names, grades, comments, etc.), and always inform students at the start of each recording that the session will be recorded.
