Teaching and Learning with Zoom

Through the integration with MyCourses, faculty can schedule and host Zoom meetings. Students can access their Zoom meeting through MyCourses. Zoom is the preferred web conferencing tool for use with MyCourses. Zoom is integrated with Kaltura as well as the MyCourses Course Calendar. 

The Zoom desktop app is installed on classroom computers. The in-classroom web cameras and wall-mounted PTZ cameras are accessible through the Zoom interface to allow for camera content to be shared with remote attendees when the classroom computer is used.
