If you are not speaking, can you mute?

Yes, anytime you and students can be hard wired will improve the quality of experience for everyone. For some folk it’s not an option.

Are the yes/no responses anonymous? It doesn't look so.

No, all participants can see these

Will, can you give 1-2 examples of Yes/No questions from your class??

Are you able to present poll results on your screen as you can do with Poll Everywhere?

20% ish

Jennifer - not really - Zoom has a (quite nifty sometimes) feature where it hides all zoom windows when you screen share. Sometimes, this is great (it hides video!), but you can't use Zoom screen share to share Zoom based features.

how about using a pooling function in zoom?

I completely agree with Ron, I have experienced that too.

Jennifer / Igor - you can use the polling feature in Zoom - have to create the poll ahead of time. students don't see results until you share

Zoom’s poll feature can be unstable at times .. and have to be added to the zoom meeting before the meeting begins. But it is a nice option for some simple questions, that can be then shared or not.

Zoom polls have to be set up when you are creating the live sessions.

Thanks, Lauren. Is it possible to embed poll everywhere questions into powerpoint on zoom so that students don’t have to go to url in separate window? Is it possible to share Poll Ev responses on screen?

I just seen somebody use it un a virtual conference with 400 participants. It was amazing.

Yes, you can embed Poll Everywhere in powerpoint and in theory it updates live with the results….it’s glitchy.

The screen in zoom is not clickable, so you can put the URL on the slides, but a student would have to type them into a browser window or devise to answer the poll. One way around that is to use a poll ev address and have s students sign in to that address on a phone or browser at the start of the meeting, then go back at time as you make questions live.

Got it. Thanks!

Agreed with Carie. I also encourage them to download the Poll Everywhere APP on their phone. It makes it a lot easier to manage on their end

(Rise in absolute #s or as a rate?)

You could give brief clinical vignettes and then ask if the practitioner proceeded correctly or not.

Does giving mailed incentives increase response rate in a mailed survey?

That is amazing.

Good epi question Lynn!!

I’ve used yes/no/raise hands for 3 optional answers.

can we aske them to log in under a pesudonim?

I( agree!

Sometimes I reframe the question to be - if I were to ask you what you think the answer to this question is - what would you respond (so then the are CORRECT in that they are giving their response).

Zoom polls are anonymous - if you are willing to prep them ahead of time

when I click more, no change name option comes up. I get like, dislike, clap, need a break,away. where is that option?

(More by your name, the more below by raise hand is what gives you that option)

Hover over your name to see that more pop up

I think that some anonymity allows for intellectual risk and building some confidence. Students fear that “wrong” answers will result in diminished grades.

ah, thank you

Poll everywhere is anonymous to the class, but not to the owner of the poll. If you log onto pollev.com you can see the id’s of participants and their answers.

interesting. for those who use it in the classroom, do you tell students this before the first use?

Probably should disclose to the students that their responses are findable (to the instructor)

Have any female voices tried the AI? how have you found it works for female voices?

I find that the zoom transcripts for me are often quite inaccurate.

Me too

How about if you speak English with an accent?

I'd love the data on the linguistics of texting versus talking!

If you look voicemail transcripts they often only have humor value, suggests not so accurate for many.

It’s roughly on par with the auto transcript provided by Kultura in canvas if you upload the videos there. They can be edited, but that is very time consuming for the instructor.

hearing students' laughter

Non-verbal reactions from students

non-verbal feedback on understanding of lecture

Seeing students reactions

Casual conversation.

connection with the students

speaking individually with students after class

wearing pants... just kidding. what i really miss are people laughing when i attempt to tell a joke

feedback from watching faces while I speak

Listening to students conversation as they arrive.

Seeing non verbal responses/reactions

I miss picking up on body language including wandering attention.

Reading the room

see my student's faces! I teach 240 students, hard to see them in zoom

I have a very difficult time managing screen share and chat and seeing everyone's faces.

Yes, @Lauren, that’s challenging. Using chat strategically can help decrease some of the stimuli.

You can also do free responses (short ones) through Poll Everywhere.

I find it hugely helpful to have 2 monitors.

That was with 30 students... I think a second screen would be necessary or an LA/TA.

1 for the screen share, the other for my notes, chat box, etc

@Dana I did! but if they commented saying I forgot to screen share or something I didn't see it until someone physically spoke up

I do have my liaison collecting the questions in chat box

very helpful

I wish we'd had time for testing the breakouts. I had trouble with them last semester.

@Vasiliki - Great suggestion. I appointed a note-taker every class, but I could also appoint a chat-watcher!

For raise hands, if you have a cohost watching the ‘participants’ tab then can interject when someones hand is raised. But it’s very hard to watch if you are alone with many participants.

This has been fantastic, Will, thank you.

Thank you for the suggestions and reflection on this!

Super helpful Will!

Thank you Will!

Agreed, thank you!

where will the recording of this session be available? I want to share it with some of my colleagues

@Laurie, I held 3 hour synchronous sessions this summer, happy to chat!

Tons of breakout groups, often breaking out for asynchronous independent work, and regrouping

I will send the video out to all participants

Thanks Lauren!

You know we've been asked to prepare for in person, synchronous, AND asynchronous!

This was fantastic. Very hands on.

Thank you. Very informative. I have another Zoom to go to.

Thanks so much!

thanks Will and everyone, this was super useful!
