1) Zoom Focus Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Focus mode gives the host and co-hosts view of all participants\u2019 videos without other participants seeing each other. This extends into screen sharing, as the host and co-host can view and switch between each participant\u2019s shared screen, while the participants can only view their own content. If the host finds a participant\u2019s content should be shared with others, they can easily begin sharing the participant\u2019s screen with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellevue College faculty have the ability to turn on focus mode from within their College Zoom accounts. More information is provided on Zoom Support about Focus Mode.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Canvas Courses from Prior Quarters Not-editable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a Canvas course from a prior quarter which you can no longer edit, then one solution is to import it to a sandbox. You can make updates and changes within the sandbox and export it back to an active class site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact Interactive eLearning if you need an additional Canvas sandbox. You won’t need an additional sandbox for every past course, since you have the ability to edit, delete, and re-add new courses to any one sandbox as many times as you’d like, but it can be helpful to have more than one sandbox. \u00a0Request Center<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
