Tools for taking the course remotely
- All class meetings
are held in MS Teams. Install MS Teams app on your computer using your
UVM NetID. The team for our class should automatically appear on your
Teams list (under the Teams button in the left margin). Class meetings
have already been scheduled in your Outlook calendar.
- To join a class meeting, go to your Calendar, navigate to
the correct day/time, and click "Join".
- To attend office
hours, do not
go to the class Team at first. Instead, go to the "Chat" button in the
left margin of the Teams window and call me on Chat (in the "Search"
box at the top, begin typing my name, and as Teams finds me, click on
"me" and then on the blue camcorder icon at the top right). I will
answer your call right away if I am free, or within a minute if I am
already meetings with someone, and instruct you to which channel of our
Team you should go to meet with me.
- Contact the UVM Helpline (802)-656-2604 for support with technical issues.
- Whiteboardfox.com:
A virtual whiteboard, which allows remote collaboration in real time
(several people can write on it just like on a real board). I have used
it quite a bit and absolutely love it (which rarely happens between me
and software). It requires no login, no account, nothing - just
internet connection. It is very simple to use and has all functionality
that I deem essential.
