6 Tips
Colors: clothes, color coding, color discussions
Breaks, breakouts, and briefs Lunches and labs Engaging quieter students Guest presenters Pre-course tools, communications, and
assignments.
![Page 25: Video Conferencing Fundamentals a.k.a Videoconferencing 101](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813cf6550346895da69aa4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tip #1: Colors
Clothes Wear bright colors and invite students to wear VC-
friendly colors (Blues, Violets, Pinks…even orange!) Point out which colors and patterns to avoid, such as
shirts that are all-white or wild, checkered sweaters.
Color Coding Consider colored name tents to see student
names and category (type project, subject)
Color discussions Back drops, wall colors, signage.
![Page 26: Video Conferencing Fundamentals a.k.a Videoconferencing 101](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813cf6550346895da69aa4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Tip #2: Breaks, Breakouts, and Briefs
Breaks Exercise breaks Rotate seats, so different groups get to “center stage”
from time to time.
Breakouts Small group assignments (10-15 minutes)
Briefs Mini-presentations by small groups Student introductions Student project “snap shots” (1 minute max)
![Page 27: Video Conferencing Fundamentals a.k.a Videoconferencing 101](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813cf6550346895da69aa4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Tip #3: Lunches and Labs
Lunches If class is on either side of a lunch break, consider
running mini-film festivals on supporting information. (History or Literature classes w/ snippets of classics on video, Documentaries, etc.)
Labs Schedule labs in campus computing centers
for exercises supporting classroom discussion.
Lunches and/or Labs Combine lunch and lab times for student and teacher
flexibility. (Loop films to run and re-run)

Tip #4: Engaging Quiet Students
Breakout assignments Charge breakout groups with identifying fellow
students that haven’t had as much opportunity to participate -- have them give group “readouts” as group’s video spokesperson
“Distant Stars” Rotate remote point-persons for distributing
handouts, collecting assignments, faxing sign-in sheet.

Tip #5: Guest Presenters
Invite colleagues or students from other schools to bridge into videoconference.
Reserve a spot for public if attending Presentations - no lectures, please!
