Cancer Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Meanwhile, I can report that giving a Zoom lecture is at least as tiring and stressful as regular inperson lecture. More so, since I am not used to sitting down and having to flip between windows as opposed to writing on a board. EDIT: And OMG, I hate watching/listening to myself on video. Hate hate hate. And the random crap in heaps behind me as I talk.... Starlord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since she was born in Brazil, she also has a bit of an accent so that is another factor that bothers her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I've had many professors who couldn't even handle in person lectures well. Good on you for adjusting to the new normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I had to give a sort-of online class back in the 1990s; it wasn't on the internet per se, but the university had four different campuses, each of which had a TV studio, all linked by closed circuit, with students in attendance in the studios. I got a few of my lectures on videotape from that, which I found that I couldn't bear to watch. But my mom did watch one of those tapes, so in that sense she did see me teach once.

Cancer Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 With the free version you can only have meetings up to 40 minutes long. But if I'm using my campus login I have the site license for pro, which I think is unlimited in meeting duration. Yet another faculty perk I hadn't thought about before.
