Where Do I Begin?

Computer Test:

For Zoom No testing necessary! Just be sure you have a strong web connection and a well-lit area free from noise and other distractions. 

Classroom link: 

Instructors using Zoom will send students an invitation to join your UofM email account.

Helpful Tips:

• Give yourself plenty of time to connect.
• If you're in a hurry and trying to connect for the first time, you may run into trouble.
• If you're not speaking during the session, it may help to turn your microphone off to prevent background noise/feedback.
• Video and phone connections are options.
• Be sure to understand what features your instructor expects you to use. For example, if video is required, and your computer doesn't have a camera, you will need to use another device.
