Connect a webcam, microphone, and earphones to the business computer. A webcam can be a built-in camera. We strongly recommend using an external microphone and earphones to improve sound quality. Connection to a stable Internet environment is essential.
Business PC
Web camera
Earphone with microphone
Earphones with a microphone with an earphone plug connection, such as those used with smartphones, are sufficient.
Network Environment
Please connect your equipment to a wired LAN or a stable wireless LAN. This is because public networks on campus, such as HINES-WLAN and eduroam, may need to be fixed when there are many simultaneous users.
Install software such as WebEx, Google Meet, or Zoom on your business computer to create a virtual conference room for conducting classes. Video conferencing software allows you to perform all of the tasks necessary for class delivery, including
Real-time class delivery
Presentation of Powerpoint or other slide screens
Q&A using chat tools
Classroom Recordings
To ensure students know how to take the course, we will notify them beforehand of the software to be used, how to access the course, and any precautions to take.
To notify students, it is helpful to use ELMS group announcements; it is also useful to create a mailing list and enroll students in Google Groups in Google workplace for Education or in the HINES service.
When notifying, do not forget to provide the date and time the class delivery will take place, the videoconferencing software to be used, and the URL of the conference room.
If the same meeting room is used repeatedly, the URL of the meeting room can be pasted into Moodle in the ELMS to keep the public informed at all times.
Use Moodle quizzes to check student attendance. Be sure to use video conferencing software chats to answer questions from students.
We use Moodle assignments and quizzes to check students' understanding of the class. In addition, we will increase interaction between teachers and students by using Moodle forums to create opportunities for discussion between teachers and students and between students.
