    Zoom for live sessions
    Bongo for presentation recording
    Slack team communication

    If you use Zoom, here is a list of keyboard shortcuts to basic functions, and I’ve pasted the US phone-in numbers (to have handy to share with individual students who have trouble accessing your Zoom room by computer). The idea is to select 2 phone numbers geographically close to where the student is:
    • +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)
    • +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)
    • +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)
    • +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)
    • +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)
    • +1 253 215 8782 US (Seattle)

    Rowsey, April -April_Rowsey@baylor.edu

    April has worked a lot with Bongo which April uses to create group-presentations when students aren’t able to be together (and the tool also allows for video presentations, documents, self-assessments, peer review, realities around Q&A and mock-interviews, more). You can request a personal demo from their website (as a way to get in touch with a salesperson). Bongo is not, at the time of this posting, offering free service–but even April was surprised to find that Baylor *already had* a license and should needed only to setup the service! Ask your IT or Academic Licensing folks. https://www.bongolearn.com/ and a hype video at https://vimeo.com/264641254
