    Zoom information

    Zoom etiquette

    Do’s

    • Make sure your full name shows up appropriately.
    • Use your camera so your teacher can see you - this is a course, not a webinar.
    • Mute until you are required to talk. Use the Zoom functions to communicate if needed (chat, raise your hand, answer yes/no, etc.).
    • Close other windows on your computer that might be using bandwidth.
    • Be on time to class. 

    Don'ts

    • Share the zoom access information for your class with others, or enter under a different name. Your teacher needs to complete an attendance register for funding purposes.
    • Take screenshots, cell phone pictures, or otherwise record the meeting, your classmates, or your instructor.
    • Change your name or change your zoom background during the meeting.
