Online Learning

Zoom

Classes can meet "face to face” online via Zoom. Not all classes will have real-time meetings, but those that do will use Zoom.

Your instructor will share a link for your class meeting, either through email or through your course Moodle site. All you need to do to attend is click that link to attend the meeting.

This short video gives an overview of how to join a meeting in Zoom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIkCmbvAHQQ 

You will have a better experience if you download the app:

The Zoom app has low-bandwidth options for participating in meetings, including phone access. See the help centres for more support: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us 

Student Zoom accounts

ECU Zoom account is available to all current degree and full-time Continuing Studies students. This account will remain valid so long as students remain enrolled.

Having an ECU Zoom account will allow students to create and host their own Zoom meetings. Please note that a Zoom account is not required in order to participate in others’ Zoom meetings, such as a class run on Zoom by faculty.

For details on setting up your account, see the Community Update.

Etiquette for video meetings

(these tips were developed by students in one of our summer courses)

• If you are eating, mute your video and sound.
• Be considerate and respectful.
• Recognize that time delays make it hard to know when someone is finished speaking; try not to talk over somebody else.
• Do your best to participate.
• Don’t smoke on screen.
• Be fully dressed when your video is on.
• Always join the call on time.
• Leave your mic on mute if you are not speaking.
• Don’t use your phone while in (virtual) class.
• Be attentive and active (don’t let yourself get distracted).
