Moderator Checklist

Before a session

Create a Zoom session
Send session details to students via a Moodle announcement;
Signpost the permanent test session to your students and ask them to test their connection and hardware setup prior to participating in a live session;
Check you have the appropriate equipment and space available (See Preparing for a Zoom session).

Join the session a good amount of time before its start time;
Check your audio and video settings;
Check that participants have the desired permissions for when they enter the session (e.g. 'Share Audio' and 'Post chat messages') within the session Settings (See 3. Collaborate Panel: Settings Panel);
Ensure that you have started the recording (if appropriate) and informed participants that the session is being recorded and will be made available via Moodle (See 1. Session menu: Recordings);
Set expectations for participation and inform participants of the permissions they have (See Preparing for a Collaborate Session: Set expectations);
Mute yourself/participants when not speaking to eliminate background noise;
When the session has ended, click 'Leave meeting for all'

Remind students that the session recording is available (where applicable) and where to find it in Moodle.
