Schedule your class in the Zoom application for your desired date/time and copy the invitation details to send to your students via email or add the Zoom meeting to your Blackboard Learn course
Please note that students will not need to register for an account to join.
Use Advanced Settings:
Enable waiting room or passcode to control entry and avoid uninvited guests (required).
Mute participant’s microphones upon entry to avoid background noise.
Automatically record meeting.
Before your first session, invite a colleague or friend to do a trial run with you. Try all features you plan to use in class…share your screen, go through your slides, use the chat feature, test your microphone.
Ask a colleague, TA, or even a student, to be your tech support during your first session. Have that individual address any tech issues or general questions a student may have in the chat or via email so that you don’t have to interrupt your lecture.
Join your class early to ensure a proper connection.
