Advice for Connecting Online
Working from home means relying on your residential internet service and you may experience down times or slower speeds—even more so with much of the population working from home. To manage this risk, we’d like to offer the following suggestions.
SET EXPECTATIONS WITH STUDENTS
Develop and communicate a contingency plan for if/when a network disruption occurs. Post the plan to Canvas and reiterate at the beginning of class.
BUILD IN REDUNDANCY
If you have a TA, consider giving them directives if you do drop off (have them present the slides and you lecture). Consider calling via telephone into your class.
Other Connection Options
If you do drop from your residential internet, know how to switch to a mobile hotspot. Join and present from Zoom on your phone using the cellular data network.
Optimize for Your Course
Limit or turn off any other devices or streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, etc.) on your home network that may consume bandwidth.
