Getting started with online/blended classes
Hope everyone is keeping well during this critical time.
In view of the postponement of classes, CTLE is working closely with different units at UM to coordinate and facilitate online and blended learning until we all meet again on campus.
It’s crucial that we pay attention to official announcements of teaching and learning arrangements during this period of class suspension. CTLE will publish relevant demo videos and manuals in due course. Meanwhile, here is some information that can help you get a head-start on preparing to teach online or teaching in a blended mode:

各位澳大人新年好!
希望大家在這個關鍵時刻裡一切安好。
由於開課推遲,教與學優化中心正與澳大的各部門緊密合作,協調和促進在線學習和混合學習,直到和大家在校園再次見面為止。
在接下來的停課期間,請各位務必注意各項校方有關教學安排的重要通知。
本中心將適時發布相關的演示視頻和教學指引。

How to Use Zoom for Online Classes
What you need to know when using Zoom for online classes:
With Zoom, we can:
·
Give live lectures online, which is facilitated by sharing our computer’s screen or PowerPoint slides;
·
Have live discussions (video or texting);
·
Record a zoom meeting, or parts of it. Video recordings can then be edited and uploaded to a course on UMMoodle.
Getting started with Zoom
What should I do with a video conference?
We recommend keeping online lectures short and concise. Consider:
·
20-30 minute video conference session
·
Followed by 20-minute student activities/forum discussions/quizzes on Moodle
·
And then another video conference session, where you can respond to students’ posts and questions, give feedback to their work, conduct further lecture or discussion.
·
We have different teaching styles and preferences, therefore feel free to try different approaches when you conduct video conference sessions, such as straight-up conversations with students, talking over PowerPoint slides, showing images, talking over documents etc.
How do get my UM Zoom Account?
Please read our previous T&L blog:
FAQ: Can I conduct online classes with a basic Zoom account?
How do I get started with Zoom?
·
Academic staff need to register for Zoom at
account.icto.umac.mo
.
·
Teachers can check their account settings at
umac.zoom.us/profile
.
·
Students and teachers can join an online meeting by clicking on a link in UMMoodle or a message. Again, more to follow in the next demo video.
·
Remember: first-time users need to download the Zoom app, which will then open when a meeting link is clicked.
How do I schedule a Zoom meeting for each course in UMMoodle?
You can schedule meetings in your course by adding a Zoom activity. Then set up the configure the meeting date/time, duration etc. You can refer to a
video tutorial
or
page.
Main functions of Zoom: Essential Details
How do I know if my audio and video are clear?
Check your audio and video settings
·
Click on the V button beside the microphone. Video tutorial, “
test video
.”
·
Option:
join a test meetin
g
if you want to test your audio and familiarize yourself with meeting controls.
How do I run lectures online?
You’ll need to know how to navigate the Zoom app, which is quite simple.
·
Make sure your mic and camera are switched on.
·
Make sure your students are all online. Click the PARTICIPANTS button and you’ll be able to see who’s here and who’s not. Note: Teachers can turn off students’ microphones and/or video feeds, if needed.
·
Find a view that works for you: switch to grid view or presenter view. Tutorial
here
.
How do I conduct discussions on Zoom? Is it all verbal, or is text available?
Yes, we can certainly conduct discussions, spoken or textual.
·
For text-based discussions, open the chat window. Tutorial
here
.
·
Send messages to all.
·
We can also share files in the chat window.
·
A recommendation: Please do take a break from lecturing. Students can go to a discussion forum on UMMoodle and make posts. Then everybody come back for another video conferencing session and the teacher can continue with further discussion or give feedback with reference to posts made by students
Can we share our computer screen?
·
Yes, click on the share button and select your desktop. Check out a
tutorial video.
·
Or, share one Window, e.g. a PowerPoint presentation.
Can I make a recording of a Zoom meeting?
Yes, we can record the meeting as a video on our computer. Please check out the guide
here
or video tutorial “
Recording a Zoom meeting
.”
Can I upload the video to UMMoodle?
Yes, however, it will most like need to be compressed to a smaller file, 200 MB or less.
·
To do this, locate video on your computer and
compress it with free Handbrake software
. The presets for “Fast 576p or 480p” are recommended. Then, files under 200 MB can be uploaded to UMMoodle and will load quickly on mobiles.
·
Then, you can upload the video file to UMMoodle by dragging and dropping onto a course. Tutorial
