Title: Beyond Zoom: A Beginner’s Guide to Unlocking the Transformative Potential of Virtual Reality in EducationPresenter: Chris ShaltryFormat: Learning Tech DemoDate: May 11th, 2023Time: 10:15 - 11:15 amClick here to viewDescription:Virtual Reality (VR) is an innovative and game-changing technology that presents exciting possibilities for teaching and learning. With its unique ability to provide immersive and interactive experiences that are often impossible to replicate in traditional classrooms, it has the potential to transform the way we approach education.This learning technology demonstration will explore the potential benefits of VR technology in education using the FrameVR platform. This cutting-edge virtual environment enables educators and learners to easily create and share immersive experiences in unique environments, providing a new level of engagement and interactivity in the learning process.During the session, attendees will have the opportunity to experience FrameVR firsthand. They will interact with virtual objects and participate in whole-group and self-directed breakout room discussions. We will also discuss the pedagogical implications of using VR in courses, for academic poster sessions and virtual meetups.We will also address the challenges and limitations of using VR in education.[no special equipment necessary]

Zoom break-out rooms are a go-to option for student-student interaction in online courses. When I think about break-out rooms, the image I see commonly displays a blue 'Share' button in the upper right, this is how accustomed I have become to seeing Google Apps along with Zoom. Works great, facilitates interaction, leaves an artefact that can be used to assess understanding. As time went by, we got better at it. Instead of hearing 'I forgot what group I was in', groups would have names. We even used 'come up with a group name' as a get-to-know each other activity. We learned that having a single document shared by all worked for some situations, but we could also make group folders for holding supporting documents and individualized instructions. We could control access or have students share from their own Google Drives.
My next break-through for break-outs: Google Forms. So glad I saw that demonstrated. The report-out instructions could be right in the form, and could include images and video. Forms could be copied or questions imported, thus saving time. And responses all went neatly into columns and rows on a Sheet, which could be converted to a Doc if we that made reviewing easier.
I only recently opened the door into the big candy shop of Google App joy, and it wasn't for work. My child is taking piano lessons online. In person, the teacher would annotate his book to adjust a phrase for exercise purposes or to transpose the key. Online, the teacher was relying on my son to record the changes. That didn't happen. But the boy had a suggestion for the teacher: use a Google doc with musical notation. This was new to us, but sure enough, in the Chrome Web Store we found an add-on called 'Flat'. (Not a very enticing name, but 'Sharp' is taken.)  Flat is a blast and fun way to learn. In addition to musical notation, it can make guitar and ukulele tabs so we can quickly try the music on other instruments, and we can have a group play together. While I was in the Store, I also grabbed an add-on called MathType, which we could use for math and chemistry but for some reason we just haven't got to that. 
Something else that is cool: Microsoft Edge accepts Chrome add-ons, because both browsers are built in Chromium. I don't want to give up Edge: I love being able to search the MSU cloud from my browser. If you haven't tried that, just use Bing in Edge, and check out the results under the 'WORK' heading. It will even take you to your Teams chats. Amazing. 

Topic Area: Pandemic Pivot
Presented by: Ashley Maloff, Abby Johnson
Abstract:
The RCPD Stern Tutoring and Alternative Techniques for Education (STATE) Program began providing innovative and important assistance for MSU students with learning disabilities in the spring of 2004. Each fall and spring, the program works with partnered colleges at MSU to invite students with learning disabilities who are on academic probation or at risk of falling on probation to participate. STATE provides disability-specific instructional, tutorial, and peer mentoring components as well as strategies for academic success. When MSU courses transitioned to remote learning, instructors transitioned the STATE seminar to weekly Zoom sessions. Even though there was a drastic change in the format of the program, students continued to support each other, build community, and displayed a high degree of resilience. Come learn how this Program was moved online and was continuously improved over the three semesters of virtual learning.

As the host, you can control who meeting or webinar participants are allowed to chat with. You can also disable the chat for all participants or disable private chat, so participants cannot send private messages.
Prerequisites

Host permission in meeting or webinar
Zoom Desktop Client for Windows or Mac version 4.x for host and participants to control chat access
Zoom Mobile Client for iOS or Android version 4.x for host and participants to control chat access

Controlling Chat Access
Meeting and webinar hosts can control whether participants can chat with everyone, with panelists and the host (for webinars), or only with the host. 
 
Disabling In-Meeting Chat
You can turn chat for all of your meetings and webinars from your Profile Settings, if you do not want to use the chat in your meetings and webinars. This will prevent the host, co-hosts, and participants from chatting for any meetings you host. The Chat option will no longer appear in the Meeting Controls.
You can disable the Private Chat, which will prevent participants from sending messages to individuals instead of the entire group.
