Teach from a Classroom Hybrid F2F
Hybrid F2F classes involve students attending in person as well as via Zoom. Teachers are in charge of scheduling and managing their Zoom calls, unless a facilitator is requested (view the Facilitator section at the bottom of this page). Click on a button below to jump to that portion of this page.
Steps to Prepare
Make sure your USU Zoom account is active by signing into zoom.usu.edu Opens External Page
In Canvas, set your preferred email and enable Zoom in your course
Find the classroom you will be teaching from and do a test run (fill out this classroom training request form Opens External Page if you need assistance)
Use Individual Devices in the Classroom
If you want all of your students (including those attending in-person) to utilize Zoom features like breakout rooms and polls, they will each need to be on individual devices. Please note that when they connect to the call in a classroom, the audio needs to be disconnected on their device. If it is not disconnected, an audio feedback loop will occur.
Disconnect audio in one of two ways:
Connect to Zoom in the Classroom
To launch your Zoom call in a classroom, it can either be started on the computer or via some touch panels, depending on the room. Click on a button below to jump to that portion of this page.
Connect with the Computer
Connecting to a Zoom call on a classroom computer is the same process as if joining from a personal device. For more information about starting a meeting, go to the Meeting Basics page along the left navigation.
Sign into the Zoom application (this only needs done the first time in a classroom, then the computer will remember you)
Start the Zoom call
Test the speaker and microphone from the arrow next to the mic icon*
Make sure the correct camera source is selected by clicking on the arrow next to the camera icon*
For student microphones and cameras, check the Classroom Information website Opens External Page , which gives details about what kind of equipment is available in each room. You can also check out the Classroom Tech page for more instructions on using those microphones and cameras.
Connect with and Use a Touch Panel
Some classrooms have Zoom integrated with the touch panels. Huntsman Hall 122, 124, 132, 270, and 326 has that integration, along with any room with a Touch 10.
