IS&T’s Classroom Technology team is working on enhancing the classroom technology experience. As part of this effort, Zoom meetings will be hosted directly from the Classroom PC instead of the Zoom touchpanel.

Reason for the Change

By centralizing Zoom functionality on the Classroom PC, instructors will benefit from an efficient and seamless experience that aligns more naturally with other digital teaching tools and resources. This approach supports pedagogical continuity and reduces the need to manage multiple interfaces.

Anticipated Benefits 

  • Streamlined workflow: Launch and manage Zoom meetings directly from the Classroom PC.
  • Improved integration: Greater compatibility with presentation software and resources already used on the Classroom PC.
  • Enhanced reliability: Minimizes the need to alternate between devices during instruction.

Starting a Zoom Meeting in a Classroom

To start a Zoom meeting, open the ‘Zoom Workplace’ app on the Classroom PC. After logging in with your Chapman account, select your scheduled meeting and click ‘Start meeting’. To share content in a meeting, click the ‘Share’ button on the Zoom menu bar after starting the meeting.
