Online Security, Conduct + ZOOM Log-In Credentials
April 7, 2020Student safety is our top priority. We continue to be in communication with the University and other IT partners regarding security measures in the online environment.
We’ve had reports today that students are signing in as each other and using “funny” names (aka “spoofing”) in ZOOM meetings. These events have caused some stress, but we have no evidence to support that outside users are accessing our meetings.
Below are NEW requirements for students logging in to ZOOM to address safety concerns and manage online behavior.
In addition to focusing on student safety, we are paying close attention to student conduct at Virtually P.K. Reported instances of inappropriate student behavior are addressed according to policies outlined in the Code of Student Conduct.
Security Measures
– Hapara allows us to push out ZOOM meeting rooms directly to our students.
– Canvas (6-12) and HAPARA (K-12) privately publish ZOOM meeting links.
– Established safety protocols for ZOOM sessions: teachers granting entry to participants (waiting room), managing file sharing, and limiting screen sharing capabilities.
NEW! Additional Security Measures | Beginning Wed. April 8
– When students log in – CHECK EMAIL FOR REQUIREMENT | Camera ON
– Students attempting to enter ZOOM with a different name, will NOT be permitted entry.
