Virtual Courses and Zoom Sessions When attending virtual classes via Zoom, it is essential to follow these guidelines to enhance the productivity of the session for you and your fellow classmates. Consider how you can be supported by friends and family during your time in graduate school and enlist their assistance, if necessary, when you are in class. • Create a Dedicated Learning Space : Establish a specific area in your home where activity and distractions are limited, allowing you to focus entirely on the class without interruptions. • Avoid Multitasking: Refrain from engaging in other activities like driving, attending or coaching sporting events, attending to household chores, watching videos during class etc. during class. Give your full attention to the virtual session. • Enable Video: Keep your video on during the class so that you and your classmates can see each other. It fosters a sense of connection and engagement within the virtual environment. • Mute Microphone When Not Speaking: To prevent background noise and disruptions remember to mute your microphone when you are not actively participating in the discussion. • Utilize Zoom Features: Familiarize yourself with the various Zoom features, such as the “reaction” tab to virtually raise your hand when you have a question or want to contribute to the conversation. • Use Chat Responsibly: Make use of the chat feature to ask questions and share comments related to class material. Avoid engaging in private and personal conversations in the chat. To maintain a focused learning atmosphere.
By adhering to these guidelines, you can make the most out of your virtual learning experience and contribute to a more enriching and productive class environment for everyone involved.
