Participating online

Active participation enlivens the session with other voices and perspectives. We encourage you to engage with instructors and with each other.

Microphones are muted by default to improve audio quality, but you can raise your hand to unmute yourself.

Recording is enabled and will be made available to everyone who registered for the workshop.

The Zoom toolbar provides several ways to be part of the conversation:

Reactions menu

Open the Reactions menu and click an icon to communicate with the instructors.

Use this to answer yes/no questions or to raise your hand when instructors invite you to ask a question, comment, or share your screen.

Chat window

Use the Chat window to comment or ask a question at any time. Instructors will do their best to respond, sometimes waiting for a break in the lesson to do so.

The Chat window is a good place to report problems with your audio connection. Instructors may also use it to share links to material mentioned in the session.

Share your screen

In some cases instructors may invite you to share your screen. Raise your hand to indicate that you’re ready to share. When called upon click Share screen, select a window to display, and click Share.

Contribute to the Whiteboard

The Whiteboard is a collaborative space that everyone can annotate with drawings and text. When the whiteboard is shared click View options and select Annotate.

This opens the annotation toolbar. Drawings and text you add to the screen will be visible to everyone in the session or breakout room.
