Scheduling Virtual Office Hours

Eric Belt, Ed.D., shares a tip on giving students a sense of agency in scheduling virtual office hour meetings in this short. By using a tool like Calendly, instructors can share their availability via a hyperlink for the next 7, 30, 60, or more days with students in real-time. Calendly integrates with Outlook and Zoom as well as other email clients and videoconferencing software. Changes that ebb and flow in instructors' email calendars are reflected in Calendly so the tool is always current when students view the schedule. Calendly offers one free calendar connection and active event that is perfect for virtual office hours.
