How to prevent your Zoom session from being hacked | Zoom Meeting Security Info from Zoom

We are facing a teaching and learning crisis due to COVID-19. This website serves as a reference for University of Bahamas faculty and students to immediately begin moving their teaching and learning activities to a remote format.

Getting ready to transition

This is the process we will follow. The preference is that instructors use our online learning management system (Moodle) combined with Zoom to teach out the remainder of the semester; other tools such as Teams, TurnitIn, WileyPlus, Mindtab, and Google Apps may also be available. A course shell has been created for each course being taught this term that did not previously have one. This course shell will be the place where instructors can place a link to another tool, upload course content, such as lecture recordings done with Zoom or other software, Powerpoints, lecture notes, illustrations, assignments, and any other material. See Workshop Schedule and Recordings for techniques and strategies to move your course into a remote modality. Scroll down to see more resources and Moodle tutorials.

Faculty please take our Faculty Technology Resource Survey so IT can get a clear picture on how to support your courses.

Supported tools to help you teach online:

Although you can use many tools to create online instructional content, such as Powerpoint, Keynote, Photoshop, Indesign and Word, we are providing a special focus here on 3 tools that we think you will find very useful as you convert to remote teaching because they are easy to use and produce attractive content: Zoom, Snagit, and Adobe Spark. Watch this to see a brief explanation of each product and their function:

Zoom - a video meeting software that can also record your webcam, your microphone and your entire screen. You can hold a live 40 minute session with your students or record a session and send out a link to the recording to your students. Zoom hosts the video recording for a period of time or the recording can be uploaded to Youtube and then a link placed in your Moodle Classroom.

Snagit - a screen recording software that records webcam, all or a selection of your screen and audio. Upon completion it automatically uploads the video to Youtube and copies a link to the video. The link can then be sent to students or embedded in the classroom. Free until June 2020. How to sign up for free copy of Snagit | Snagit-provided Online tutorials.
