Welcome to the Synchronous Learning at IU site. To navigate this page, please click on the 3 lines to the left for the navigation pane.
While most of its online courses are asynchronous, Immaculata now offers some virtual classes using a synchronous classroom (specifically for classes identified as either Virtual "Live" or Remote Synchronous).
Synchronous courses provide instruction via a live streaming platform. Classes "meet" on a fixed schedule in the same way face to face ("traditional") classroom courses do. As in a traditional class, synchronous class students experience faculty giving live lectures and asking questions. Also, such students are expected to engage in class discussions via the online connection as directed by the course instructor.
Whether using Google Meet or MS Teams as the course's live streaming platform, faculty and students need to review the instructions provided to learn how to use the tool and successfully engage in a live streaming session. Be sure you know how to use the streaming platform in advance of your first class meeting.
We recommend using either the desktop or mobile version of the applications for each of the synchronous platforms. Please see the download instructions published. If unable we recommend using the most recent version of Google Chrome to ensure uninterrupted functionality.
Please note: any of the streaming platforms below are accessible via computers, smart phones or tablets by downloading the appropriate apps to those devices.
For ADA compliance, videos should have closed captions for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. Include an audio description and transcript for blind users. Faculty should take all measures to ensure compliance.
Google Meet no longer allows users to record sessions. If you are not using the recording feature, Google will continue to be available for your use. For those wishing to record, please use Microsoft Teams for that capability.
Important: If you are having issues navigating these pages, it is likely you do not have your Immaculata Google account indicated as your primary log on during this session.
