Sharing a presentation while attending class remotely has several steps you'll need to consider. Your professor will decide whether the presentation should be presented during a live class session (synchronous) or pre-recorded (asynchronous). Either option can be accomplished using a video conference.
Synchronous (live) Presentations
To share presentations during a live class over Zoom, individuals or groups should share one person's screen, and should unmute audio and video. You should also post your slide decks either in the Assignments or the Discussions sections in Canvas, depending on what your professor tells you to do.
Tips:
- Practice your presentation in Zoom before delivering your presentation in class.
- For group presentations, one group member should share their screen during the presentation. Other group members should give verbal cues to advance the slide.
Asynchronous Presentations
You will use Zoom to create a video conference with your group and record the presentation. Make sure to PRACTICE in Zoom before recording the session for submission.
Once the recording is complete, it will be accessible for the meeting organizer to either download or retrieve the link to upload to Canvas. There are two ways to do this:
- Submit as an Assignment
- Submit in Discussions
The Assignment/Discussion distinction is based on faculty preference. Please clarify with your professor where you should upload your presentation.
