How can you leverage CarmenZoom, Ohio State's web conferencing platform, for your online course? Join us for one or more interactive 1-hour online sessions to practice using key functions in Zoom, experience that functionality as both a student and an instructor, and learn from facilitators and fellow participants about how to effectively integrate them into an online course. Facilitators will answer questions and demonstrate the use of various tools in Zoom.

This session, Engage Your Students, will focus on how to gauge student reactions and check for understanding while teaching in a synchronous Zoom class session. We will demonstrate how to use polling, yes/no and other reactions, and the hand-raising features in Zoom. We will also share examples and best practices for using the chat function.
