Integration of Zoom for teaching, learning and assessment in Higher Education

We're looking at hybrid classes, but struggle with how to incorporate assessments for in-person and Zoom attendees. We can use Zoom Polls for both, but how do we ensure that audio feedback or echoing isn't a problem if the in-person attendees access the Zoom Meeting?

I have recently integrated the Hybrid Mode of Lecturing along with use of Projector. The students were online and physical mode. With the help of a high speed internet and computer device such as Microsoft Surface Pro the echoing and drop out decreases. The use of Zoom Chat and Polls are really helpful for assessment and simulation for learning. We can also do a recording of lecture and send them to students in face to face and online mode.

Is is possible to have Zoom for two ways of teaching, learning and assessment

1. The educator is teaching through Zoom from office and students are both synchronous & in-person classroom.

2. The educator is in-person-classroom with students and some students are synchronous as well.

3. The educator is passing on laboratory instructions and the students are performing experiments in real time in-person lab.

Thank you for setting this out so clearly, Pankaj, and for the hybrid point raised by RHTirrell. In my experience, polls work best when they are used for quick formative checks during a lesson — for example, asking students to choose a step in a worked problem before moving on — rather than as the whole summative assessment. For hybrid classes, giving the in-person and remote students exactly the same poll and chat prompt, and then working through the answer on a shared whiteboard, helps avoid two different classroom experiences. Your gradebook idea would help here too, because students would see the outcome straight after the session instead of waiting for a separate mark sheet. For remote supervision, a short live check-in where the student talks through their working, rather than only submitting a finished file, has also been a useful way to keep thesis and internship guidance genuinely interactive.
