How do I use the room?

Zoom Rooms is a fuction that works with the streaming service Zoom. When Zoom Rooms is set up in a room and turned on the room becomes a participant of a Zoom meeting. Zoom Rooms are set up so that the projector screens are automatically down and the presenters screen is shared both to participants in the room and online in Zoom. You are not able to use whiteboards or chalkboards while teaching with Zoom Rooms in progress.

We have made short videos on some specific functions that are special to NTNU.

What can I do in the room? - Possibilities

Stream teaching

You can stream live lessons to your students, unlike hybrid lessons here, all the students stay at home while you stand alone in the Zoom room and lecture. This is like an online session just that you are on campus while the students are at home.

Read more about how to promote interaction and collaboration in online sessions and about recommended practice for online sessions.

Campus teaching

Rooms with Zoom Rooms can be used as ordinary teaching rooms as well - you do not need to use Zoom Rooms for the room to work for this purpose. If all the students can be present on campus, you can teach in the usual way.

Recording

In rooms with Zoom Rooms it is possible to record your lecture. The rooms are suitable for recording if you want to record and don’t have a webcam or office equipment for that. The recordings can be part of a flipped classroom session.

Hybrid teaching

Hybrid teaching is when some students are in the classroom and some students are at home. Hybrid teaching is challenging, as it’s hard to give all students an equal experience when some are in the classroom and some are at home.

Read the guide on hybrid teaching in real time for further explanation and tips.

What can't I do in the room? - Limitations

Use the whiteboard

Using a whiteboard is not recommended while using Zoom Rooms. In Zoom Rooms the computer screen is projected onto a screen in the room. One option is therefore to use a document camera with the screen.
