在停課不停學期間，將Zoom融會線上和課堂教學的最佳方法：
By M.P. Ramaswamy, Barry Lee Reynolds, Frank Gong, Katrine Wong and Chris Fulton
With online learning now being implemented at the University of Macau, committed teachers are holding classes online with UMMoodle and Zoom. This blog post features some of our colleagues’ tips and best practices. Let’s see what has worked well to support teaching and learning of different disciplines in an online environment.
M.P. Ramaswamy (FLL) Blending the best of online and classroom pedagogy using Zoom during the class suspension. Among various tools providing a dynamic learning environment in Moodle, none equates with real classroom experience as much the integrated Zoom utility offers. During the challenging period of suspension of classroom meetings, I have been using Zoom regularly to offer real-time classes online. With Zoom, I was not only able to conduct classes as per the original schedule but also harness it with the effective teaching and learning needs of legal education. I found that the Socratic method of legal education, warranting live interactions to emulate a courtroom experience is fully made possible through the powerful features of the Zoom program.
The specific features I found useful to ensure effective learning are the possibility to simulate a live debate on any topic of learning among large participants, the tool that enables the creation of breakout rooms to separate a large class into small groups to achieve active learning through group discussions, the ability to supplement with public and private written chats, the prospects to test specific learning outcomes using the polling tool and the technical means to ensure student attention and involvement even during long class sessions.
Such features are readily accessible using the embedded Zoom gateway built into the UM Moodle without having to separately open and maintain a Zoom account in its proprietary web platform. This facilitates the use of powerful features without having any need for technical expertise or training. The quick learning curve, the ease of use as well as the effectiveness of the learning features highlighted above should motivate a full utility of the Zoom program among academic colleagues in not only legal education but also across other disciplines.
The role of CTLE and ICTO in this regard, bringing together mutual learning through shared experiences and facilitating the use of Zoom, deserves to be commended.
Prof. Barry Lee Reynolds (FED) Colleagues can use Zoom not only for real-time delivery of lectures but also to record full or mini lectures without requiring students to be online. These recordings can then be uploaded to Moodle. This method is useful for colleagues that would like to get familiar with Zoom before leading a lecture or activity in real time. Here are the basic steps to follow:
Prof. Frank Gong (FED) Here are a few things that I have been doing during this period of online T&L:
Prof. Katrine Wong (CTLE/MLC/FAH) I find that taking regular breaks from screen helps keep everyone engaged. It’s been more than 2 weeks since I started my regular Zoom class meetings. I typically structure my class as such:
As much as I encourage students to switch on their camera whilst in class, I appreciate the fact that sometimes circumstances stop them from switching on their video feed. After all, as long as students are with me during class discussion on Zoom, as long as they respond to me when called upon to speak, and as long as they are on task, I'm fine with it.
It's also useful to remind our students to mute their mics when they're not speaking. This helps reduce distraction and environmental noise during your Zoom meeting.
Dr. Chris Fulton (CTLE) Two common technical questions asked by colleagues relate to screen names and screen sharing. First, we can change our screen name temporarily. In a meeting, teachers can temporarily change screen names by opening the Participants list, and moving the mouse over their name. Click on rename and type a new name.

澳大目前正積極推行在線遙距學習，不同學院的教師們通過UMMoodle和Zoom的方式進行在線課程。這篇教學網誌將介紹他們的有用貼士和例子。齊來了解不同學科的遙距教與學實用方法！
M. P. Ramaswamy 教授（法學院）
在Moodle中提供互動學習環境的眾多工具裡，沒有一個能與Zoom的實用性相提並論。 在充滿挑戰的停課不停學期間，我經常使用Zoom作即時線上課堂，除了能夠按照原定課表上課外，我還能夠有效地滿法學的教與學需求。通過Zoom強大功能，我可以確保進行師生能即時互動，並採用蘇格拉底問答法方法去模擬法庭體驗。
當有較多學生課堂中進行模擬現場辯論時，我要確保這樣的學習有用，Zoom可以創建Breakout Rooms分組討論室（教學影片連結），將一個大班分成幾個小組，並使用Chat聊天功能（教學連結），以便學生們進行學習討論；而使用Zoom內置的Polling投票工具（教學連結），即使在時候較長的課堂裡，都可以了解學生對知識的掌握情況、保持他們的專注和參與程度等。
使用UMMoodle能快捷連接Zoom，使老師們不需要另外開啟Zoom程式，同時不必為自己的Zoom帳號費神。不需要專門的知識甚至培訓，就能簡單上手應用Zoom的強大功能了！通過上面我提到的各種功能，大家可以知道Zoom真的簡單易用，有效提高學習效率；我覺得不只在法學教育，甚至其他學科中都能運用Zoom提供更好的教與學質素。
我要在此表揚本校教與學優化中心和資訊科技部同事，他們積極地分享了使用Zoom的寶貴經驗，並將其和在線學習融會貫通！

老師們除了可以使用Zoom進行即時授課外，還可以無需學生在線情況下，錄製整堂課或部分內容， 之後可以將錄製好的影片上載到UMMoodle去。 老師和學生正式進行在線課堂前，可以利用上面的方式先好好熟悉Zoom！步驟如下：
1.如果老師要展示教學簡報，先開啟該簡報，再開始Zoom的教學；
2.開始上課前先確認聲音和畫面已開啟並運作正常（相關連結）；
3.開始屏幕共享，分享你的教學簡報（教學連結）；
4.開始進行錄影（教學影片連結）；
5.使用教學簡報進行授課；
6.結束Zoom會議。
在會議結束後，Zoom將自動生成剛剛完成的的課堂影片和聲音檔案，老師無需學習任何新的技巧去錄製課堂影片。
龔陽教授（教育學院）
以下是我進行在線課堂必做的事：
王嘉祺教授（教與學優化中心/ 馬萬祺羅柏心書院/ 人文學院）
我開始Zoom作線上教學已超過兩星期了，並發現定時讓師生離開並休息一下，有助於保持大家的課堂參與度。以75分鐘一堂課為例，通常可以以下劃分時間：
我的學生跟我談了他們無法開啟視像鏡頭上課的原因：
〝我的兄弟姐妹和我正在同時上Zoom課堂，家裡的網速太慢了，同時使用視訊太難〞； 〝我家裡沒有無線網絡，我需要利用流動數據上網，關閉視訊可以幫助我節省數據用量〞。（相關連結）
雖然我很鼓勵學生在上課時開啟視像鏡頭，但有時遇到各種情況阻礙也沒辦法，只要學生在Zoom課堂討論中和我同步，並在要求講話和課堂活動時對我做出回應，那就沒問題了。
同時我也建議老師提醒學生們，在不說話時靜音，這有助於減少Zoom會議期間的干擾和環境噪音。（相關連結）

我收到老師們對我反映兩個常見問題，與Zoom內顯示使用者名字和屏幕共享（相關教學）有關，首先我們先解決顯示名字的問題：
