[gep-ed] Zoom update

[Ronald Mitchell]

Colleagues,
Two things learned from Zoom today

1)  The quite good: Cloud recording works (local computer recording, not so 
much)  Here is a screenshot of the cloud recording - I am not sending the link 
since it would violate FERPA if you read names in Chat. But the video recorded 
1 hr 20 min fine and I got the link and now its available for asynchronous use. 
It contains audio / video / screenshare / and automatically-generated 
transcript of my lecture which is impressive (pure voice-recognition software - 
great for hearing-impaired students).

2)  The not good at all: Attendance and Polling do not work at all unless 
your University has good arrangements with Zoom to ensure that all students 
usernames and emails are filled in with University-consistent unique 
identifiers. Many students in attendance do not have an email address and have 
their own name // many in Polls are entered as Guest with no email address at 
all.
WORKAROUND - do participation-tracking activities outside of Zoom (e.g., quiz / 
survey on Canvas).



Hope its helpful.

Ron
