Schedule course meetings (lectures, office hours) through Canvas>Zoom.
Give them informative titles "Live Lecture" not "PSC001"
These will automatically be added to the Canvas Calendar
The students just click the link to join the meeting. They do not need to know the meeting ID
Set cloud recording - it has worked great (you don't have to remember to turn it on)
Instructions for using PowerPoint Presenter View with only one monitor
Awww shucks - why does it work like that?
There are different settings in Canvas>Zoom and ucdavisdss.zoom.us and you really need to go to both versions to get the settings 'right'
Each Instructor or TA must schedule their own Zoom times - you can't be in more than one place at a time and 'alternate host' doesn't release the primary host.
If you change a meeting - the changes will not automatically update the Canvas Calendar. Be sure to keep the Calendar clean and accurate
Zoom always starts on the hour - there is no way to say 12:10
There is no way to release a Zoom meeting in Canvas to a subset of the students - it is all or none
You can 'broadcast a message to all breakout rooms' but the message is fleeting. Try copying the message before you send it and send it every 10 seconds 3 or 4 times in a row.
Once you create breakout rooms you can reuse them but not increase the number of rooms - always create as many as may need.
The Zoom app will not show you your 'upcoming meetings' for meetings scheduled through Canvas.
Accommodations (increased time): You can manage the time allowed for individual students after the quiz is published to accommodate SDC time extensions.
Quiz Grading: All student answers can be downloaded as a .csv from Canvas Quiz (statistics > student analysis report). Grading from this .csv can be quicker than using SpeedGrader but will not allow you to give item-by-item feedback to students.
Question Banks.
+NewQuestionGroup > Link to Question Bank > Pick x Question > Worth y points.
To deliver each student a subset of the bank and randomize the order of the questions
Or to repeat a question (like the honesty pledge) on multiple quizzes
