Looking for an alternative to face to face office hours. Come to this workshop to learn how to use Zoom for your online Office hours. Here are some benefits to Online Office Hours.
Meetings do not have to take place on campus.
Office hours can take place at more popular times, such as later in the evening, when more students can attend. Additionally, students can “pop” online when they're actually working on homework, ask a quick question and go back to work.
If you archive the discussions, students can go back through the conversation if they need clarification or want to review the material under consideration. Likewise, students who did not participate in the conversation have access to the material.
Cut down on having to reply to multiple emails with the same question or on the same topic. It also assures students of a timely response.
Students can all be active participants, instead of waiting in a line outside your office door.
Anonymity. Shy students might be more prone to participate if they can do so online as opposed to in-person.
Offer the whole class a chance to see what types of questions individual students are asking.
