Instructors have the option of offering classes live with Zoom at regular class times and recording the classes for later review, or pre-recording all of their lectures for students to view when they are able. Check with your instructor see if your live presence online is required.

Links to live lectures can be found by clicking on the Zoom tab in the left-hand navigation. You can also find links for all of your lectures in your calendar, accessible from the menu on the far left of the page.

The delivery of your distance class may remain the same, only instructors will be teaching from their office or home. They may still use Adobe Connect, or they may decide to change over to Zoom

Try this fix: (1) Go to zoom.us/signup and create a basic Zoom account with your NMT email address. Once you are finished setting up your account, log out. (2) Then click on the Zoom activation link again. This will elevate your new basic account to a licensed account and give you access to the Zoom tab in Canvas.

This probably means your account is already enabled. Try clicking on the Zoom tab in Canvas or go to zoom.us and log in with your Tech Google account.

When you click on a live or recorded Zoom meeting you will be offered a link to download the Zoom client to your computer. It is recommended that you do so; meetings viewed in browsers sometimes encounter problems. For more information on Zoom and technical specifications, click here.

Your instructors may require that you use a webcam and microphone so they may see and hear you. Alternately, you can use the chat window to ask questions and make comments. Here's a link to a recommended combination webcam and mic.
