For the purposes of conducting classes via Zoom, Georgetown CNDLS has set up each course to run the Zoom software through the Course Canvas. Below is the step by step process for accessing Zoom in your class Canvas account:
Go to georgetown.zoom.us
Sign into Zoom. The sign in button is in the center of this screen. To sign in, you must use your Georgetown email address.
It is recommended that you download the Zoom app to your computer and sign in. This will save your sign in information and you will not have to repeat steps 1 and 2 everytime. If you do not want to download the Zoom app, you will need to repeat steps 1 and 2 every time before beginning your class. You may download the latest Zoom app here. You will want to download the one that says "Zoom Client for Meetings"
Open Canvas in a tab on your browser
Click on the course you want to host the Zoom session in
Scroll down to see “Zoom Conferencing” and click on it
Below the button that reads “Create Meeting (Custom)” you will see a link that starts with “Class Meeting:” Click on this link when you are ready to start the class.
A screen will pop up that says “Launching…” On top of this will be a pop-up box. On the box that pops up, click “Open Zoom” (this will take you to the Zoom app.)
A new box will pop up, here click “Join with Computer Audio”
When the class is finished, click on the button in the lower right corner of your screen that says “End Meeting”
A box will pop up. Here you will click “End Meeting for All”
Optional things to do for your students:
1) You may want to send an announcement through Canvas to remind your students that
the class will be online.
For Homework:
If you have your students submit it to the discussion section in canvas, you will be able to download the homework to correct. You can then email it back to them as an attachment OR upload it as a comment when you post their homework grade.
An alternative is that you could have your students directly email you the homework assignments and then you can just email them back with the corrections as an attachment
