Zoom skills for teachers & facilitators (basic & advanced sessions)

Teaching a virtual Bethel University class this year? Interested in teaching or facilitating online events? Need to brush up on your Zoom skills or learn more about how the platform works? Join us to dive into how the platform works, and some tips and tricks for leading great sessions. Register once, and join us for Basic Zoom, Advanced, or both.

Basic Zoom: 6-7 PM

We’ll cover the basic Zoom skills that you need to take or teach a course including joining, muting and unmuting, changing screen view and settings, troubleshooting your connection, chat, and more. There will be time for you to ask questions and try out your new skills.

Advanced Zoom: 7-8 PM

Now that you have basic Zoom skills, we'll cover breakout rooms, screen sharing (including photos and powerpoints), using the whiteboard, and more. There will be time for you to ask questions and try out your new skills.

• content (what kind of material you have, and how you hope to present it)
• logistics (how long your course will be, how many students you expect)
• format (what type of session you are imagining -- lecture, presentation, discussion, etc.)
• any questions about teaching!
