With the beginning of the new academic year, the Language Center brings back the Tip of the Day blog. The plan is to continue to describe small, manageable chunks or tips that support online or remote learning environments. The primary focus will be the teaching and learning of languages, but these tips may be useful for more general audiences as well. We are aiming to publish three posts per week.
Our first tip of the fall semester is an elaboration on a previous one: Who attended my Zoom session? Access a list of participants. Luckily, the process of taking attendance at a Zoom meeting has not changed, so this entry is still relevant, and may be useful for those starting out the semester fresh and who need to manage student participation, especially for large classes.
One thing to be aware of, however, is that the list of participants is accessible only to the individual who scheduled the meeting. For instance, if you have a very large class, perhaps with a TA or an assistant, that person does not have direct access to the participant list in the “Reports” menu. Only the meeting originator has access to this report.
One way you might give your TA access to the list of attendees:
- follow all the steps in the blog post
- export the file as described
- email the downloaded file to the assistants OR
- share it in a Google folder
- the assistant can then open the file in Excel or Google Spreadsheets and track attendance
Please let us know what you would like us to explorer or elaborate on in this blog through comments to the posts. We look forward to a productive semester of collaboration.
