Parallel teaching from a UQ lecture theatre with Zoom
Parallel teaching allows you to teach to a physical class in a UQ teaching space and on Zoom at the same time.
Before you start, you need to have a scheduled Zoom meeting set up and shared with Zoom participants.
Room equipment
The Desktop PC's display can be shared with meeting participants, though the PC can also be used to share content from laptops and document cameras connected to the room's AV system.
Microphones
Sound captured by the lecture theatre's lectern microphone, room microphones, and wireless microphones can be heard both in the lecture theatre and by meeting participants. People participating via the online meeting can be heard over the lecture theatre's speakers.
Getting started
You can watch a video guide demonstrating the steps for delivering parallel teaching via the Crestron touch panel audiovisual system.
