ZOOM AND VNPT E-LEARNING GUIDANCE

Due to several concerns about how to study online via Zoom and VNPT system recently, here are some instructs to help both instructors and students:

With ZOOM

  • Sign in to the Zoom desktop participants and stay signed in through class session (the session code will be shown on HITU website)
  • Check the Internet speed. If you’re on free Wifi you may need to keep your camera off to improve the quality.
  • Turn your camera on and have your camera at eye level
  • Stay muted unless you’re talking to reduce background noise
  • Make sure you sit in a well lit and quite place with formal suit

With VNPT e-learning system

Basically, enter the link provided by lecturers to sign in the system without installing. Personal IDs and passwords given by instructors before class. Keep in mind to change your own password right on the first logging in to protect your account and note it down because it’s very complicated.

VNPT e-learning system is adapted to interact between instructors and students. After the class session on Zoom, all the homework, assignments and maybe tests will be posted on online classrooms. Therefore, lecturers could score and leave the comments on each file.

Study online or face-to-face learning both requires actively involving in the learning process. Moreover, part of subject will be taught at school when the school re-opens. To ensure students still receive enough knowledge as in a physical class, faculties and teachers come up with our best effort in order to motivate you to study at home. So, try you best and we can all get through this together.
