Zoom Etiquette

Basic Guidelines

• Turn on your camera, so your instructor can see you.
  • Dress appropriately.
  • Use a virtual background if you are uncomfortable sharing
    your personal environment. (Instructions provided in the
    Student Hub on the Zoom tab).
     
• Mute your microphone.
  • Unmute your microphone to participate in discussions and ask
    questions.
  • Use the chat feature if you do not have a working microphone.
  • If another student is speaking, and you would like to add a comment,
    please use the “raise your hand” feature in Zoom.
     
• Use your First and Last name to login to the Zoom meeting. This allows
  your instructor to easily identify you and take attendance.
   
• Pay attention! Maintain eye contact with the speaker on the screen.
   
• Be on time to class. Communicate with your instructor if you will be late to
  join the Zoom meeting, or if you lose connection during the meeting.

Your Environment

• Attend your Zoom class sessions in a quiet area. Ensure your area is free
  from background noise and distractions.
   
• Sit in a well-lit room or position yourself facing a light source. Don’t sit
  with a light source (window) behind you, because you essentially become
  a silhouette.
   
• Prepare your materials in advance. Log into your eLearn course, have your
  textbook readily available, and ensure you have paper and pencil/pen to
  take notes.
   
• Turn off/silence your cell phone. Ensure your area is free from distractions
  and that you are not disturbing other students.
