In preparation for the move to remote instruction on Monday, March 30, CIT has announced several additional Zoom training sessions next week. CIT is offering the following three levels of sessions.
- The Very Basics of Zoom. This training is intended for people who want to be slowly walked through downloading, logging-in, and creating a meeting.
- Zoom Overview. This training will cover all of the features faculty may want to use in their teaching. This is the same class that has been offered to this point. Leslie Joseph will partner with Music Theory Professor Joseph Lubben to offer a Zoom Overview class specific to the teaching needs of the Conservatory. All are welcome and these will be streamed at https://www.oberlin.edu/livestream/kulas.
- Pedagogy Sessions. This session will be a series of virtual sessions titled Online Pedagogy and is intended to cover ways to translate your learning outcomes to online delivery methods including Blackboard and Zoom.
