Customizing participant windows in Zoom

Ever wished you could reorder to the Zoom participant windows instead of having all participants showing up in random order? Or, wish you could see which students raised their hands and in what order in Zoom? In this quick Take5 video, I walk through how to do both actions. 

I have used these features to help identify the order of students to call on during presentations and communicate to students that order in a visual format. If you prefer to read how to use these features, go to the section Customizing the Video Order on this page from Zoom.

Sharing your Course Recordings with Students via Canvas

Even if you chose to automatically record your course meetings to the Cloud when you set them up in Canvas, you still need to publish those recordings for students to view. You’ll need to do that each time you teach and record the class.

In this video, I demonstrate how to share your course recordings in Canvas with students. If you are interested in a shorter (45 seconds) demo with no sound, click here. The short demo demonstrates how to share recordings with students and how to publish the recordings in Canvas so they are available to students.
