Download and Save Your Zoom Recordings

Videos recorded and saved within Zoom’s cloud storage space are subject to deletion 30 days after the date and time of recording. Develop a regular routine of downloading these videos soon after recording. If they need to be shared with students or colleagues, upload the videos to another suitable web location.

Google Drive is ideal for this purpose. Click here to find tutorials for using Google Drive to host and share videos.

Encourage Students to Take Academic Honesty Pledge

It has been noted in many circles that when presented with an Academic Honesty Pledge, students are less likely to cheat on quizzes, exams or assignments.

Click this video for information on how to encourage students to take the pledge before taking quizzes and completing course activities. In D2L, almost any assignment can be restricted based on the completion of another assignment.
