Zoom Session Etiquette

In order to facilitate an atmosphere conducive for an online learning environment, we suggest observing the following guidelines.

• Use headphones instead of computer speakers.
• Mute the microphone upon joining each session.
• Raise a hand to ask a question during Q&A.
• Raise an index finger for a follow-up.
• Send in the chat the title of articles or papers.

When speakers share their screen, to avoid video obstructing the presentation, we suggest enabling “Side-by-Side Mode” by doing the following once the presentation has begun.

• Switch Zoom to full screen
• Move mouse pointer to top-center of display image.
• Select “View Options”.
• Choose “Side-By-Side Mode”.
