Best Practices for Success

Be Present: If your environment allows, keep your camera on. Seeing your face and engagement means a lot to faculty and helps build a stronger classroom community.
Active Participation: Use the "Raise Hand" feature or the chat to ask questions. Active engagement helps you stay focused and ensures you're getting the most out of the session.
Professional Environment: Find a quiet spot and use a neutral background or the "Blur" feature if you're in a busy space. This minimizes distractions for you and your classmates.
