Click on the dots to learn important considerations for teaching remote and in-person students simultaneously.

Connect to room audio and video

Connect your laptop to the room's speakers and microphone before starting your Zoom session.

Use tablets for writing and drawing

If you need to write notes for students, use a digital drawing tablet. Remote students will not be able to adequately see writing on a blackboard or whiteboard.

View remote students via the room display

Your remote students will be viewable on the room projector or display next to your presentation.

In-person students should mute

Physically present students should join the Zoom meeting, but should mute their microphones. The room microphone will capture all students.

Use cameras to view classroom

The installed camera will give remote students a view of the classroom, but is insufficient for viewing any whiteboard or blackboard writing. Cameras may be positioned differently in different classrooms.

Managing participation

A teaching assistant or in-person students may be able to help manage questions and comments from remote students.

Social distancing

All people in the classroom should maintain adequate social distancing and other safety protocols according to University guidelines.
