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.
