Manual

You can divide your class list manually. Examples for how to do this include:

• Take your class list and divide it in half for T/Th courses or in thirds for M/W/F courses
• Assign A, B, and C groups (for M/W/F courses) or A and B groups (for T/Th courses) when going through your class list.  

Using Moodle

You could also create random groups in Moodle. For instructions on how to create and use groups in Moodle, go to the Creating and Using Groups page in Confluence. Using groups in Moodle can also allow you to release resources and activities in Moodle to specific groups throughout the course. 

Students will need you to tell them which class period they should attend in person before the first day of class. You can let students know which class to attend through a number of ways:

• Welcome email before the beginning of class
• Announcement in Moodle

Manual

Taking roll can be done similarly to your current method with the addition of looking at the Participants list in Zoom.

Moodle

Moodle offers a few ways for you to take attendance. With Moodle, you can take attendance yourself or allow students to self-report their attendance. For more information on how Moodle can help with attendance, visit this Confluence page.  

Remote students will have questions much like students in the classroom.

There are a few techniques that can help you monitor student questions.

1. Make clear to remote students your preferred method for questions.
   1. Do you prefer students to unmute themselves and ask their question aloud?
   2. Do you prefer students to type their questions in the chat in Zoom?
2. At the beginning of the semester, ask a few students from each in-class group to log into Zoom and monitor student questions from the chat to bring them to your attention. This can be especially helpful if there is a technical issue.
3. Take more frequent breaks for questions than you normally would.
