How do I move face-to-face teaching to distance teaching?

There are many reasons why it is sometimes necessary to switch from face-to-face teaching to distance teaching and to make changes to already planned schedules. One key reason may be a sudden situation such as a pandemic, strike or weather conditions.

In this guide, we go through how to create a network link with the Zoom video conference program and change the reservation in numerical order from the physical location to the network.

Information about the location is automatically updated in the calendars of the persons, realizations and groups included in the reservation, e.g. In OMA, Tuudo and Outlook.
