Using Zoom to Teach Your Class Online

As an instructor, Zoom can help keep your class going if you or your students have a situation that keeps you from meeting in person. Synchronous online class sessions, where everyone joins a Zoom meeting at a scheduled time, is one way to create engagement when students are remote, but Zoom can also be used to support other teaching and learning scenarios. Zoom can be used on laptops, desktops, tablets, smartphones, and even desk phones, giving students many ways to access the class session.

The In-Depth Guide to Using Zoom to Teach Online Class Sessions in HUIT's IT Help Portal provides detailed information about preparing for your Zoom session, engaging students with chat, screen annotation, polling, non-verbal feedback, and breakout rooms, and delivering accessible online class sessions to your audience, as well as information for specific teaching scenarios.
