Keep Teaching

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to provide general information to help prepare SOM faculty and staff for disruptions to face-to-face teaching and large meetings. In the event that classes cannot be taught in person, faculty may be required to rapidly move their courses online. The links below will direct you to resources and contact information for assistance. Additional links will be added as resources are launched.

Zoom Synchronous Online Meetings

JHU now allows faculty & staff to sign up for basic and, with department permission, Pro/Licensed Zoom accounts.

Do I need a Pro/Licensed account or a basic account?

A basic user can host meetings with up to 300 participants and their meetings will end after 40 minutes. Pro/Licensed user meetings will not end at 40 minutes, so if you need to use Zoom to teach for longer than 40 minutes and have department approval, you should follow the steps to create a Pro/Licensed account.

Step 2: Select Zoom User Account(s) from the first drop-down menu.
Do NOT select “Zoom Large Meeting Add-on”, this option will not work.

Step 3: Enter your name or JHED ID and click on it when it appears (may take several seconds).

For Basic Accounts (free, meetings capped at 40 minutes)

Step 4: Select Basic license type, and click Order Now on the right.

For Pro / Licensed Accounts (for teaching longer than 40 minutes)

Step 4: Select Licensed license type.
Step 5: Enter your SAP Billing Number and Fund Number as directed, then click Order Now on right. Faculty must get their SAP Cost Center # from their department administrator.

You will then receive two emails indicating your request has been processed and approved with instructions to access your account.

• SOM Office of Academic Computing Guide
• Johns Hopkins-specific guides and information
• FAQ
• Desktop client
• Short video tutorials

• How do I schedule meetings?
  • Once scheduled, the Zoom app gives you an easy copy/paste of all the meeting connection info that you'll want to distribute to your fellow attendees.
  • Integrate Outlook with Zoom (this is optional)
• Personal Meeting ID (PMI)
  • A virtual meeting room that's permanently reserved for you. The ID and connection info never change, so it’s not ideal for back-to-back meetings.
