Virtual Meeting Rules and Etiquette

  1. Test your setup beforehand

    • Confirm Zoom is installed and works.

    • Test the camera and microphone, and familiarize yourself with features (chat, hand raise, breakout rooms, etc.)

  2. Display your first and last name in Zoom, for both identification and security.

  3. Keep your mic muted unless you are speaking.

  4. Ask questions via the hand-raise feature or chat - avoid interrupting.

    • During practice sessions, use the hand-raise option only; an available instructor will invite you to a breakout room for a private discussion.

  5. Turn on your cameras if possible - this helps build a sense of connection - and dress appropriately .

  6. Be mindful of time.

    • Save questions specific to your research or purposes for later practice sessions.

    • Breakout room discussions with instructors are timed to ensure fair access for all participants

  7. Instructors must end sessions on time due to other commitments - please be respectful of this.

  8. Feel free step away or leave live sessions as needed - no need to notify us.
