Video conferencing

Video Conferencing 

Video conferencing tools make holding live remote (synchronous) classes and meetings possible.  They can be used for instruction as well as 1:1 or group meetings. 

Tips & Best Practices:

1. Test your audio, video and equipment well before the start of class, and do not conduct these tests from a classroom. If you experience a low bandwidth signal, shutting off your video will help. 

2. Establish and communicate ground rules and guidelines for videoconferencing etiquette.

3. Make certain that materials that you plan to distribute in your physical classroom are also available online and accessible by the students in the remote locations.
