Featured Resource: Zoom Security Refresher
After a relatively clear fall semester, we’ve seen two instances of “Zoom bombing” already this spring. As a reminder, you have several options for protecting against unwanted visitors joining your Zoom sessions. See Zoom’s Best Practices for Securing your Zoom Meetings, also mentioned on our Academic Technology page and in the January 22 Faculty Resource Bulletin.

This three half-day workshop is designed for all faculty. Whether you have been teaching online for several semesters or are new to teaching online, this hands-on workshop will be of benefit to you.
