Dear Colleagues and Students,
A key component of the campus social distancing, remote teaching, and telework strategy is using the powerful remote meeting tool Zoom. Zoom can be used to host and attend remote instruction, hold meetings, and collaborate digitally with colleagues, classmates, and friends. Zoom can be used on any computer, tablet, or mobile phone.
We would like to announce the immediate availability of Zoom enterprise licensing for all UCI faculty, staff, and students. Zoom meetings will allow up to 300 attendees per session over an unlimited number of minutes. You can facilitate interactive meetings in real time, video chat, create polls, screen share and share documents. Live sessions can also be recorded and distributed to enable access by participants who are unable to attend live sessions.
General Campus:
You can sign up for Zoom by visiting https://uci.zoom.us and signing in with your UCInetID and password. A quick start guide for basic functionality is hosted by Zoom. If you already have an existing account you will be asked if you want to migrate it. It is safe to do, all your data will be migrated to the campus instance and your old account closed. If you are a main campus faculty member who is seeking to leverage Zoom for your course, please visit the UCI Pedagogical Continuity webpage or review the tips hosted by the Paul Merage School of Business. OIT has also created TechPrep, a central resource updated frequently to help the campus community be better prepared for working, teaching, and learning remotely.
If you have any questions regarding Zoom, please contact the OIT Service Desk at (949) 824-2222 or by email oit@uci.edu.
College of Health Sciences:
College of Health Sciences faculty and staff who have a Health Sciences account will be upgraded to Zoom pro accounts. Health Information Systems is targeting to complete procurement by end of business on Monday, March, 16th. If you are in urgent need of a Health Sciences Zoom Pro account before then, please request one using the Health Sciences Zoom request form. If you have questions or require assistance, please contact the UCI Health Service Desk at (714) 456-3333. The UCI Health Zoom Instance can be found at https://ucihealth.zoom.us.
Additional information has also been made available on the School of Medicine’s Teach Anywhere page which has guidance on remote instruction aimed at your needs.
If you are a College of Health Sciences faculty or staff who does not have a Health Sciences account or a Health Sciences managed device please use the instructions for the general campus above.
Sincerely, Kian Colestock – Chief Information Officer (Interim)Office of Information Technology
