To help make the transition to teaching online as smooth as possible, please use the following recommended platforms for teaching. We need to offer a consistent teaching experience, which is only possible by using the current tools made available to faculty and students.

Recommendations:

  • Do not share zoom meeting details publicly.
  • Require a password to your meetings.
  • Disable “Join Before Host."
  • Enable “Co-Host,” so you can assign others to help moderate.
  • Disable “File Transfer,” so there's no digital virus sharing.
  • Disable “Allow Removed Participants to Rejoin,” so booted attendees can't slip back in.
