Teaching Week 2022: Engaging Students in Zoom

Many of us have been using Zoom during the shift to remote teaching and are familiar with its basic tools and features, like Breakout rooms, Chat, and others, but there may be tools we haven’t explored yet. We will show you a variety of tools and features, and provide examples of how you can use them on your own to increase student presence, engagement, and collaboration online in remote synchronous modalities. Some tools and features we will present will include Spotlight, Chat, Non-verbal feedback, Meeting reactions, Virtual backgrounds, Photo Profile, Annotation, Whiteboard, and Polling.
