1st Zoom Lecture for ACCT1511 1B Term 2

Hi Everyone, Turn off for the "Waiting Room" option, this way students can come in to the meeting straight away, no need to click 'admit'. Turn off for the "Only authenticated users can join: Sign in to Zoom" because around 10 students couldn't do this sign in, I'm not sure why that this.

It's a good idea to monitor the assessment item and your email when the online assessment starts, then you can troubleshoot any problems a
Moodle Quiz type Questions that can be used for an Exam: If you want to simulate the look of an exam paper in a Moodle quiz this could be done through an embedded question model called a Cloze question.
