For some courses, Canvas instructors may require users with a student role in a Canvas course to serve as an alternate host for Zoom meetings for the purposes of serving as learning assistants, peer leaders, or group leaders. While Zoom alt-hosts are automatically provisioned from the list of instructors in Canvas, you may create your meetings outside of Canvas, adding alt-hosts, then import the meetings in Zoom. Please be sure your students have created their Zoom accounts at netid.rutgers.edu.
Follow the steps below to allow your learning assistants who have a student role in your course to serve as hosts for your sessions. It also allows for students in your course to see the schedule Zoom meeting on their Dashboard, course calendar, and/or notifications.
Anyone with student roles in Canvas cannot create or start meetings. This is set by the Rutgers Zoom admins. Learning assistants will not see the Zoom meeting information listed in their Upcoming Meeting in the Rutgers Zoom Web Portal so they must copy the meeting link from Canvas. They must be logged into the Rutgers Zoom Web Portal so that Zoom will recognize their alt-host status.
