Zoom, a cloud-based technology, allows faculty, staff, and students to have interactions in real-time from their computers, laptops, or mobile devices. Zoom's web-based conferencing uses video and audio and is accessible on MacOS, Windows, iOS and Android mobile devices. Zoom also includes free telephone bridging, so you can bring in participants via telephone as well.

Zoom meetings can be also be recorded to the Zoom cloud, and hosts receive an email from Zoom with a share link after the meeting ends. These cloud recordings are retained for 120 days but can be downloaded at any time. Users can always check the operational status of Zoom.

If you are meeting with a class face-to-face, but have students who need to attend from remote locations, just add a Zoom meeting to your AsULearn course per the directions below. Use the classroom podium or a connected laptop to start the meeting when you get to class, and any remote students can just click the Zoom meeting link in your course to attend virtually. You can start a screenshare in the Zoom session so remote students can see your desktop content. NOTE: If using a classroom podium, you'll need to connect a USB webcam to provide audio/video. You can also take your laptop to class and connect it to the podium to use your laptop's built-in mic/camera. |
