Lunch and Learn Series: Zoom Pro-Tips with the LFS Learning Centre Team

September 18, 2020

This workshop was held on Friday, September 25, 2020 at noon.

The LFS LC Lunch and Learn Office Hours this week is a deep dive into Zoom.

Zoom is updating its software on a weekly basis. We’ll cover some of Zoom’s specialized tools, including annotation, user roles, breakout rooms, polling and general pro-tips. This session will showcase approaches for live lectures, registered workshops, recorded lectures via Canvas, and any other applications that you may request. If time permits, we will work with breakout rooms.

Come for 10 minutes or the whole session. Bring your stories and experiences and share your difficulties.
