The default naming convention used for each scheduled seminar's title helps facilitate reporting done on the backend.
In order for the necessary reporting to function as expected, it is required that the seminar title begins with the default name. Optionally, you may customize the seminar titles by appending additional descriptive text to the end of the default name.
An example of a customized name would be,
Seminar: CM107-01 College Composition I - Week 1
In this example, 'College Composition I - Week 1' is appended to the required 'Seminar: CM107-01'

The following instructions provide details on how to add alternative hosts, substitute instructors, and guest speakers for seminar sessions held in Zoom via the Brightspace LMS.
Alternative hosts must have a PG Zoom account to be added to seminar sessions. The alternative host role should be reserved for those covering a seminar session for the primary instructor and needing host control access. Additional information about the alternative host role is available.
For planned substitutions, the instructor should work with their chair to add the substitute instructor to the Brightspace course as a secondary instructor. Once the substitute is added as a secondary instructor, the primary course instructor will need to add the substitute as an alternative host for the session they will facilitate.
In the event of an emergency substitution for seminars, chairs or deans can contact support teams to assist with adding an alternative host to a seminar session.
During business hours (Monday thru Friday 8:00 am - 6:00 pm ET), submit a Service Request for assistance.
During non-business hours, the Chair or Dean would contact Faculty Support by phone at 1-866-348-1196 and advise them of the need to add an alternative host.
Guests can include guest speakers or PG faculty or staff who may attend the session as a participant and do not require host controls. Presentation and screen-sharing options are available for guests without the need to provide them with host controls.
