Can we move the Zoom Room station?
The Zoom Room station must remain by the podium in the classroom. Although, you can rotate the Zoom Room station around to face the students in the room. We recommend that faculty leave the Zoom Room stations as is in the classroom.

Yes! You can still see all of your lecture material(s) on the projector and screen in the classroom. You would just need to remember to select Share Screen in the Zoom meeting window, so the students online can see the material as well.

Will there be a help line for faculty during the semester to assist with tech support?
Yes, you can continue to call Educational Media for over the phone support. Educational Media will not be coming into the classrooms while classes are in session, but they will be available to walk you through and assist with your technology questions, while providing some remote support.

Can students bring their laptops to the classroom to join the Zoom session, so they can engage with the students online?
Yes! Students in the classroom can bring their laptops to class, if they choose to, and join the Zoom meeting to interact with their classmates online. We highly recommend, that if the students in the classroom choose to do this, that they mute their microphones and mute their computer audio to avoid feedback. The students online and in class will be able to hear each other via the Zoom Station.

Where can we share the class recording links?
All Zoom/Panopto recording links should be shared with the students in their respective LMS course shells.

Will every classroom have a Zoom station set up?
No. ~150 classrooms will be equipped in this way. See the listing of rooms equipped on each campus.

Do we need to apply for the Zoom room for room assignment?
If a faculty member indicated the preference for HyFlex (in their Fall 2020 schedule update, which is an Excel file that was created by each department chair and then shared with Academic Scheduling), then Scheduling is matching that preference to the roster of available Zoom rooms.

Will there be sanitizers/ disinfectants in every classroom?
Yes.

Will there be something to spray on the keyboard, mouse, etc between classes?
Yes. But faculty should bring their own personal markers or other high-touch materials.

How are students selected for in person vs. online and who makes that choice? Students, Prof., Univ?
Students aren’t ‘selected.’ Faculty are making their instructional mode preferences known and those preferences are being used to update the Fall 2020 schedule. The content and pedagogy of some courses requires an on-campus presence (e.g., CHP) for degree completion. Those courses are receiving top priority for classroom space assignments.

Do we need to set up some kind of sign-up system to limit the number of students who come to the classroom vs. the number who are online?
Yes. Faculty should establish a cohorting model or rotation of on-campus presence that ensures that the classroom never exceeds 25% density of occupancy.
