Lunch & Learn Series: Beyond Zoom – Experimenting with Synchronous Platforms with Adrian Granchelli and Duncan McHugh

April 14, 2021

This session will be held on Friday, April 16 at noon

After a year of online synchronous sessions, some of you may be ready to mix things up and—good news!—there are so many technologies available to make this happen. We’re going to explore a couple of ways of spicing up your Zoom presentations and show you a couple of synchronous platforms that emulate more of an in-person “feel.“ Led by the Learning Centre’s Adrian Granchelli and Duncan McHugh, this session will be fun, explorative, and expand your imagination for what is possible with web conferencing.

To register for this session, please visit https://ubc.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5cscumsqDwrG9OI5NHXco_FeqnmI0pzdWM1

Session Agenda:

  • PowerPoint as background – Adrian
  • Camera Control with mmhmm – Duncan
  • Discussion on bandwidth limitations, and alternative discussion posts in case people can’t make it for the live lecture
  • Segment on Topia
  • Segment on Gather

We recommend joining this Lunch & Learn session with your laptop or desktop computer over mobile phones or tablets for a better experience.
