Zoom is a free, very easy conferencing software used for online classes. What do you need?
A computer (or a tablet) with a good internet connection.
Your usual class material: textbook and workbooks (if applicable). The AFC can mail it to your home if you need!
A headset with a microphone (strongly recommended) or speakers and a microphone.
Optional: A webcam.
A quiet environment and your good spirit!
Your teacher will send you a link to join a “meeting” (don't forget to check the "spam" section of your inbox). On your first class, we recommend you join the meeting a few minutes early! When you click on the link, you’ll see this screen:
Option 1: Use Zoom with your usual browser
(for occasional users)
1 - Click on "click here".
2 - Click on "join from your browser"
3 - Enter your name where you see "Your Name" and click on "Join"
4 - You're now attending your class! You're able to hear and see your teacher. Enjoy!
Option 2: Download Zoom and use the software
(recommended for frequent users)
1 - If the download of Zoom doesn't start automatically, you can click "download & run Zoom".
2 - Install the software on your computer.
3 - When you open the software, you'll see a pop-up window (see below). Enter your name and click on "Join Meeting".
4 - You're now attending your class! You're able to hear and see your teacher. Enjoy!
