Request a consult for using Microsoft Teams or Zoom in a classroom or computer lab

Information

Microsoft Teams or Zoom can be used by faculty and staff in a variety of different ways and locations. One use for them is in a classroom setting to allow external guests an opportunity to present or have a discussion with a class or small group. Zoom can also be used to hold small group interviews or discussions in a conference room or other meeting space. Some of these setups and configurations could be confusing. You can make a request to Information Technology's Client Services team to assist with an introductory lesson on how to setup and use Microsoft Teams or Zoom in the space you plan on using.

Available To

Any faculty or staff members

Ideal Classroom Locations

While Information Technology does supply simple webcams in most classrooms, not every classroom is ideally equipped to hold a Microsoft Teams, Zoom or other web tool meeting. We highly encourage that you request a consult well in advance of a potential meeting so there's time to make adjustments if necessary.
