Using Zoom in your FSU Courses

You can use Zoom in your Canvas courses for synchronous (real-time) interactions with your students. Some examples of synchronous interactions are real-time lecture delivery where you expect students to be “present” during the lecture, fostering student collaboration, and offering virtual office hours. Keep in mind that using Zoom is at your discretion as an instructor – you can use it as much or as little as you would like depending on what is best for your course objectives. For example, if you are already using Kaltura to record and share asynchronous lecture videos, then you do not need to use Zoom for lecture delivery. Instead, you can choose to use Zoom only for virtual office hours.
