Offer review sessions and office hours on Zoom
Zoom is one of the better options for holding your office hours. You can:
- Use the screen sharing to show students what’s on a particular window of your computer.
- Allow students to share their screen, so you can look at their work.
Students can call in via phone, or use their smartphones to join via the Zoom app.
A few tips:
- Particularly with online and hybrid courses, give your students a few different times for office hours. A survey at the beginning of the course is a good way to find the best times.
- Use Aviso to schedule students, either in office hours or at other times. See the Aviso guide to meetings with students Download Aviso guide to meetings with students.
- If you schedule a review session, record it and post it to Canvas for students who couldn’t make it.
- Make sure your Zoom waiting room Links to an external site. is enabled, otherwise other students can drop in any time during your one-on-one meeting with student.
- Wear pants or other bottom-half covering. Just in general, that's a good idea.
