Using Zoom for Course and Team Assignments

---

Zoom is a videoconferencing tool that we will be using for several course assignments, starting with your video introduction in this lesson. While Zoom has many videoconferencing capabilities, in this course we will limit our use of Zoom to

• starting meetings,
• accessing Zoom through the link in the Course Navigation Menu,
• making recordings, and
• submitting recordings to course assignments.

Your team may also choose to use Zoom to meet, if you wish.

You will receive step-by-step instructions for using Zoom the first time you encounter an assignment that requires it. These instructions will walk you through what you need to do to create recordings for your individual and team assignments. However, if this is your first time using Zoom, please complete the Zoom Learning Path for Participants so that you have the program properly installed on your computer and are ready to use it for your assignments.

Your Zoom recordings will be sent to the cloud (Kaltura). You will find a wealth of resources on Zoom and Kaltura at Penn State. Also see Zoom: FAQs & Troubleshooting for Penn State specific Zoom resources and commonly asked questions. Should you run into technical issues that are not addressed in the documentation, Zoom is also supported by the World Campus HelpDesk.
