Online Classes

Zoom is a cloud based video conferencing platform that allows teaching staff host and record online classes.

Using the Zoom LTI Pro that we have made availble on the Moodle LMS, you can streamline your vitual classrooms and study groupo workflows with improved security.

Instructors can use the the LTI Pro app to:

• Schedule and start Zoom meetings to support distance learning, office hours, study groups and lecture capture, access their cloud recordings

Students can use LTI Pro to:

• Join Zoom meetings to remotely attend classes, office hours and study groups, view recordings of previous classes
