First day of class

If teaching from a classroom, KIS wants to help make sure that technology is the least of the things to worry about on your first day of teaching.  KIS comes into your classroom on your first day before class start time (and rest of the week until you feel comfortable) to ensure:

• Your teaching content is displaying properly
• You can see your remote students in Zoom gallery view in front of you and is projecting correctly in the classroom
• You can hear your remote students and they can hear you
• Answer any questions you have

During class

• Any issues, call 7-2200 (Hub) or 3-8385 (Wieboldt)
• Ask your VCM to contact KIS
