Is your Mac Laptop not connecting to the classroom audio?

 

Have you tried using your Mac laptop in one of our Nursing classrooms and discovered that when you play a video from your desktop, the audio doesn’t play on the classroom speakers?

Nursing Classrooms and You in Fall 2020

In addition to all the changes we’ve made within the Nursing building to keep each other safe, you’ve likely noticed there have been a lot of small changes in our classrooms. So, as you prepare for the beginning of classes next week, and you plan for your “trial run” later this week, I want to let you know about several things that you can expect will already be in your classrooms[1] or which are coming soon.

Alternative Hosts in Zoom

Anyone with a UT Austin Zoom account can serve as your alternative host. But you have to know the email associated with their Zoom account to enter it. AND, if they have a UT Zoom account, you will need to enter their EID email address. This is like the email you enter into UT Box and other UT systems that use our EIDs to identify us.

Lectures Online in the School of Nursing

‘Lectures Online’ is a new system that has been added to 4 of our 1st-floor classrooms* that will automatically record your lectures and add them to your Canvas course.

Beginning with the Fall 2020 semester, rooms equipped with Lectures Online will automatically record any signals that are sent to the projector and the speakers in the room. The recordings will be published in Canvas automatically, shortly after your class. All you need to do is remember to use one of the wireless microphones in the room.
