Mac Laptops & Classroom Speakers – known issues

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?

Well, it turns out this doesn’t happen automatically on Mac laptops. Instead, we have to select the correct device for sound output manually.

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.

Automatic Captioning – easier than it used to be

Adding closed captions to your recordings is one of the best things you can do for viewers, and not just those with hearing problems. But, now you can also do so in real time so students don’t have to wait from captions to become available, they can read them while you’re talking.

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.

Whatever is projected onto the screen and whatever is spoken into the microphone will be recorded. However, there is no camera pointed at you or your students.

Signing In to Zoom to Join a Meeting

Over the last several days, UT has made several changes to the security in Zoom to prevent unwanted visitors in our classes and meetings. And, that has also resulted in some confusion when trying to log in, join meetings, and more.

 

To try and alleviate some of that possible confusion, the screenshots below show you what it should look like when you log in and what options you should select.
