Solution Description
In addition to the best practices for using zoom with remote teaching and learning, it is recommended that instructors have a few other technology aids for the facilitation of remote classes. A second display, webcam, headset, document camera and/or tablet with stylus provide the ability to present content and view up to 49 participants in gallery view simultaneously while providing participants with a more natural viewpoint of their instructor. The document camera and/or tablet with stylus connected to the computer enable the ability to write digitally or on paper for participants to review in real time. The headset helps isolate the speaker’s voice through the microphone and provide privacy while listening to participants during discussions.
