• Providing and managing nonverbal feedback (text)
  • It can be difficult to manage nonverbal feedback while sharing your screen. You may want to:
    • Exit screen share and move into Gallery mode when using
    • Have second screen available to monitor nonverbal feedback, or
    • ask a TA or UA to assist to monitor
• Consider using a 3rd party chats like Slack or Piazza, this will save the chats automatically for students who cannot join synchronously.
• Sharing multiple screens simultaneously (video and text)
• Breakout Rooms for collaboration
  • Create rooms automatically or manually
  • When using automatically created rooms, it can be difficult to add students who come late to a room. Consider not having a breakout too soon after a lecture has started to allow for latecomers.
  • How to move between rooms: Hosts and co-hosts can move between rooms. Only the host can message the entire room. (Can make everyone a co-host if you want! Assign different problems to different breakout rooms and let people choose which problem they want to work on.)
  • Bringing everyone back to the main room takes 1 minute. So send the notification a minute before you expect people back.
• Whiteboards can be shared that allow collaborative annotations
• If enabled, students can annotate shared screens or whiteboards
  • Note that whiteboard content is saved from a breakout room and can be shared with the main room, or is saved and an be used again in the next breakout session.
• Polling tools
  • Best when set up ahead of time
    • Can be multiple choice or choose all that apply
    • Can create multiple polls, and can run multiple times.
    • Can share results or not
    • Can allow polls to be anonymous or not
  • 2 Sample Polls templates to have on hand:
    • Which is correct?
      • A
      • B
      • C
      • D
      • None of the above
    • How clear was that explanation?
      • Crystal clear
      • A little murky

Option 2: Connecting iPad (or Android) as another user

In this scenario, you will be in the Zoom meeting on a computer and also joining using the iPad. You will also be joining the meeting on an iPad. This means you will be joining as two “users.” Your computer and your iPad will appear as meeting participants in the participants list.

1. Make sure your iPad is running the latest OS version
2. Download the Zoom app on your iPad
3. Log in using your Kerberos MIT credentials
4. For a first-time setup, there are some settings you need to configure on your iPad. Follow the instructions found here: Zoom resource

1. The zoom application on the ipad (or android tablet) doesn't allow launching a poll (only viewing the results)
2. When you connect several devices to a zoom session, and you are the host, you can only poll from the LAST device you connected (as it logs you off from the other devices).

Solution: To be able to launch a poll from your laptop or computer, what you need is to FIRST connect the ipad, and THEN the laptop.

Option 3: Connecting peripheral tablet (e.g. Wacom tablet)

A peripheral tablet works in the same way as your computer mouse or trackpad.

1. Before accessing Zoom, make sure you are able to plug in and use your tablet as a mouse on your computer. Download any drivers that you may need depending on which type of tablet you have. Setting up Wacom tablet resource
