Video: Zoom best practices (thanks to T&LI)

by Anonymous in , , ,

Zoom has become an increasingly useful and popular tool to support collaboration with colleagues working remotely. Between August and November 2018, per day CSUCI hosted an average of 18 Zoom meetings for a total 72 participants, for an average daily total of 53 hours.

Over that same date range, the University hosted 2173 meetings on Zoom for 8,458 participants and a total of 6,263 hours (with 9.5% of participants using Zoom for the first time).

With so many hours of meetings happening on Zoom, it's a great opportunity to examine how to make the most out of the experience. The Teaching & Learning Innovations (T&LI) team at CSUCI just published a wonderful video of best practices for using Zoom to engage with your colleagues:

The Mobile Campus - new T&C video series

by in , , ,

In March 2013, the Division of Technology & Communication (T&C)  hosted the first Open Forum on Mobile Strategy and "unconference".

The lively discussion at the forum emphasized the varying levels of awareness of mobile concepts and strategies by members of the CI community. Three themes recurred frequently in discussions:
  • "Keeping up with the rate of change for [mobile] technology"
  • building a "baseline of commonplace knowledge" for what works well on mobile devices (and what doesn't); and
  • providing "simple steps to get started" for users and organizations that want to "go mobile"
To help introduce mobile concepts and terminology to the CI community, T&C is pleased to introduce a new video series of short episodes about making CI a more mobile-friendly place. These videos will be hosted on a new "Mobile Strategy" web site, along with news and other resources related to mobile technology at CI.

What does "mobile" mean anyway?  In short, it's about a lot more than just mobile devices. Watch our first episode (about 2 minutes) about how we define what "mobile" means:
