Time & Location
1:45 PM – 2:40 PM
Wasserstein Hall– Room 1010 (Harvard Law School)
Description
Watch live demos of how DCE automatically sets up thousands of Zoom classes each year, including class and section Zoom meetings that always have secure and accessible meeting settings, “in case of emergency” Zoom spaces for covid pivots and inclement weather, and “study lounge” Zoom meetings that students can use for socials and project work. We’ll also take a look under the hood, giving participants a deeper technical understanding of what tools and libraries are required to create Zoom automations (spoilers: it’s easier than you think!). Finally, we’ll wrap up by connecting the two sections so participants will leave with 1) a peek into DCE’s Zoom automations, 2) an understanding of how to build your own automations with the Zoom API, and 3) a list of concrete examples of API-based automations that we use at DCE.
