Class Pacing#

The suggested way to to structure your main class time is with the following categories:

  • Zoom Meeting: This time is spent on Q&A, reviewing lecture material, or completing graded participation problems.

  • Quiz Time: This is a continuation of the regular zoom meeting. Before the quiz begins, students switch over to the standard 2-device proctoring setup. Quizzes only have one proctor, the instructor.

    • In case of any Academic Integrity issues, both the usual Zoom Cloud Recording should be made for the quiz, as well as a local screen recording. On Mac you can do this with Quicktime.

  • Pre-recorded Video Time: This is class time set aside for students to complete their assigned daily lecture videos. During this time, I emphasize to the students that I am actively available to answer their questions on the discussion board.

  • Office Hours: This is either earlier or later in the day (depending on when class is), when I will be actively available to answer questions on the discussion board.

Zoom Focus Mode

You should have all of your Zoom Meetings set to Focus Mode. This is particularly important any time you require students turn their camera on. This will not affect Gallery View Recordings.
