Course Description

After an introductory lecture, you will sign up for a Zoom account, schedule your first meeting, and learn the most commonly used meeting controls during two hands-on sessions. The final session of this series is devoted to extra practice and questions, so you can start hosting on Zoom with confidence. The workshops in this series walk through the steps using Zoom in your web browser.
