Bose Speaker

The Bose speaker is ideal for situations where you have students in the classroom and students online simultaneously. You can keep the speaker near you when you are lecturing, and easily pass it to other students in the classroom when they are speaking. This way, everyone in the classroom and everyone online can hear each other well.

Setup Instructions:
Follow the instructions below to set up the speaker or download the illustrated Mobile Teaching Kit User Guide [PDF].

1. Place the speaker near the iPad.
2. Press the power button on top of the speaker.
3. Open the Settings app on the iPad:
   1. Tap on “Bluetooth” on the left.
   2. On the right side, toggle on Bluetooth if it is not already on.
   3. Go down to the Other Devices section, and tap on “Bose Color II SoundLink.”
4. Once the speaker connects, “Bose Color II SoundLink” will move up to the My Devices section, and it will be labeled as “Connected.”

Jabra Headset

The Jabra headset is ideal for situations where you are the only one in the room. For example, you might be using an empty classroom, your office, or outdoor space to facilitate synchronous sessions online. When wearing the headset, your students on Zoom would be able to hear you more clearly, as it would minimize the background noise that you would typically hear when just using the iPad for audio.

Setup Instructions:
Follow the instructions below to set up the headset, or download the illustrated Mobile Teaching Kit User Guide [PDF].

1. Place the Jabra headset near the iPad.
2. Locate the “Off” switch on the side of the ear cup. Move the switch all the way up to the top (towards the Bluetooth icon), and hold it there until the indicator light blinks blue. Then, release.
3. Open the Settings app on the iPad:
   1. Tap on “Bluetooth” on the left.
   2. On the right side, toggle on Bluetooth if it is not already on.
   3. Go down to the "Other Devices" section, and tap on “Jabra Evolve 65.”
4. Once the headset connects, “Jabra Evolve 65” will move up to the "My Devices" section, and it will be labeled as “Connected.”

Teach On Campus
Go to your office, an empty classroom, or an outdoor space on campus and conduct synchronous class sessions via Zoom.

Use HyFlex teaching methods to provide students the flexibility to join classes either in-person or online. Set up the Mobile Teaching Kit in the classroom with the Bose speaker so that everyone can hear each other clearly.

Instructions for connecting iPad to Classroom Systems
Currently, there are two ways to connect your iPad to the classroom system:

• Via a wired connection (i.e., USB-C cable)
• Via AirPlay to a MacBook

This guide provides instructions for both options: Connecting Your iPad to the Classroom System User Guide [PDF]

Teach Remotely
Use the Mobile Teaching Kit to facilitate synchronous class sessions via Zoom from your home office.  You can also use the kit to conduct virtual office hours.

Increase your mobility while teaching: Join the same Zoom session from both your iPad and computer and move around the room while teaching and sharing content from your iPad (e.g., presenting a slide deck, using the Notes app as a digital whiteboard, or using the Maps app to show students a particular location or provide a virtual tour). Also, on your computer, you can minimize the size of the shared screen in Zoom in order to view more of your students and monitor the chat.

• Use the Camera app on the iPad to record a mini-lecture, demonstrate a specific concept or skill, or create a video announcement. Post the video on BeachBoard for students to watch asynchronously once you have Wi-Fi access. •
• Use the built-in screen recording feature on the iPad to record instructional content. For example, you might record narration of your slide deck, guide students in how to navigate a course-related website, use the Notes app as a digital whiteboard to explain a course concept or use the Apple Pencil to mark up a course-related photo or image as you explain it. Post the screen recording on BeachBoard for asynchronous viewing once you have access to Wi-Fi.
• Use the Voice Memos app to record a short audio lecture or to provide audio feedback on an assignment. Post the recording to BeachBoard for students to listen to asynchronously once you have Wi-Fi access.
• Download the Keynote app from Self Service,&nbsp, and create a presentation. Add Live Video to your slides so that students can see you and the content simultaneously. Then, create a screen recording of the presentation. You can even use the annotation tools in Keynote to mark up the slides while you teach. Post the screen recording of the Keynote Live Video deck to BeachBoard for asynchronous viewing once you have access to Wi-Fi.
• Download iMovie from Self Service, and use it to create a dynamic movie about a course-related concept. Post the movie on BeachBoard for students to view asynchronously once you have Wi-Fi access.
