Your student’s experience with online conferencing may be negatively impacted by interference from uninvited attendees or even from your own students. This interference could take the form of inappropriate chats and link/file sharing, audio/video disruption, invasive screen sharing, or other disruptive actions.
To prevent or at least minimize this risk, you will want to do the following:
- If available, review the various settings for your video conferencing or discussions account, and carefully choose settings that will best meet your goals for communication and collaboration.
- Use best practices when it concerns how you choose to advertise or allow attendance to your online sessions.
- While in an online session, use the controls available to shape attendee behavior.
- Communicate online etiquette and best practices with attendees.
As with other course development efforts, planning and preparation are often the best approach to shaping outcomes. If you have any questions or would like to discuss how to best use Meet for your specific objectives, please use the ITech Virtual Drop-In.
