VIRTUAL CLASSES HEALTH AND SAFETY TIPS

How do I interact with my teacher during class?
Class interactions are at the discretion of the teacher. Using ZOOM interface, you have the option to UNMUTE your sound to ask a question or using the CHAT box to message everyone or your teacher privately.
Do I need to open my video during class?
No, you do not need to show your video during class and this is absolutely your preference.
I lost my connection during class and missed the rest of it, can you help?
Don’t worry! Sometimes, the internet connection causes the class to get disconnected. If you are not able to re-join, we keep a recording of our classes that we can share with you in a view-only/password-protected format. Please keep in mind that this at the teachers’ discretion and not all our teachers are comfortable with sharing their class videos.
