Pedagogy is the prime focus for improving your course delivery, so we recommend focusing on simple, reliable and widely used tools for your course. Make sure you are comfortable using tools like Panopto, Zoom and other applications and technologies for delivering your online courses.
Continue to use familiar platforms like Zoom and Panopto for online lectures and meetings, along with easy-to-use audio and video equipment. And be sure you have a reliable internet connection. For the best experience, obtain a microphone/headset for audio and an external webcam for video.
