Course Guide

7. Guide for the Synchronous Sessions

Pre-session:

1. Install an application for viewing PDF files
2. Check that your phone/desktop is fully charged.
3. Check that you have your charger, headsets, and other necessary equipment that you might use during our Synchronous sessions
4. Log-in a few minutes early so you can check your audio and/or video prior to the start of the online session

During:

1. Use your UP Mail in joining Zoom/Google (or other online platform) meetings
2. Mute your microphone when you enter the room.
3. Use icons to express yourself ("clap", "thumbs up" etc.). You may use the “Raise Hand” icon you want to speak (available in Zoom).
4. Contact (Email or SMS) the instructor/classmate when you are having connectivity issues.
5. Use the designated VLE forum or messaging for questions and concerns, so that the entire class can participate in them as well.

You will be receiving meeting details through the Announcement and Calendar blocks. These should be seen either at your Course Page or the Dashboard.

Again, synchronous sessions are NOT required and will not be the primary form of delivering content. It will largely be used for class consultations (once a week).
