With the recent release of Zoom version 5.10.4, some new features for more interactive online lessons are made available. This workshop aims at demonstrating the use of these new features including:

using the new cross-platform Whiteboard for asynchronous and synchronous collaboration
monitoring activities in Breakout Rooms
advanced chat functions
using a customized background in the immersive view for a unique sense of togetherness
zoom with avatars

This workshop aims at providing new colleagues with try-out opportunities on creating online teaching sessions. We will discuss how to use Zoom for online class meeting (create a meeting session through Moodle, make online teaching more interactive) as well as key features of Zoom (Share PPT, Share File, Share Screen, Breakout Rooms, Record, Attendance Report).

In hybrid teaching, some of our students will be attending the lessons in the classroom, and some will be joining us via Zoom online. This workshop aims at covering some pedagogical and technological topics on handling this mode of teaching, such as examples of how to plan for a 3-hour lesson, a demonstration of how to make use of equipment in classrooms to conduct hybrid teaching with Zoom, steps to video-record and upload recordings of your classes.

The Metaverse is an exciting digital universe where social interactions, entertainment, and business occur. It also provides great potential for enhancing educational experiences, improving student engagement and creativity, and making learning more interactive and fun.
In this workshop, you can have an exciting experience in the Metaverse via the Spatial platform. You can learn the latest features on Spatial to interact with your students. You can also learn how to develop Metaverse spaces for students’ exhibition projects using multiple forms of virtual items in a 3D environment to present their creative designs and ideas. You can try using Meta Quest headsets to explore VR immersive experiences in Spatial after the workshop.
All EdUHK staff and staff who participated in the workshop “Teaching in the Metaverse Classroom Using Spatial” organised by LTTC are also welcome.
