Q: How can I get help with remote teaching strategies?
A: Set up a one-on-one meeting with Antoinette. Email her to book a session any afternoon during spring break, 1-4 PM. Also note that there are a whole bunch of DUE webinars during spring break to learn this stuff. Check the schedule.
A: No, but you should. It’s better for the students. It keeps all of their courses in the same place.
Q: Do I have to use Zoom and Yuja?
A: No! Some courses could use Canvas only.
Q: What about VPN? Should I be using it now?
A: Mostly, not. It will tend to slow down your connection. You will only need it to access resources that are restricted to the campus, such as periodicals from UCI Libraries.
A: Start Here to sign in to create a UCI Account. Click here to learn how to schedule meetings. Get the dedicated program. Get the phone app too. You need to use your UCI account for full-featured access — like meetings over 40 minutes.
Q: What are Zoom’s limits?
A: 300 people, unlimited time. You can definitely run a 20 person crit session in Zoom.
Q: How do I change my Zoom background?
A: See here. Thanks Jason! And see here for a snazzy background. Thanks Jaime!
