Notes from the Oct 31st Update: Zoom Update Requirements and More!

Update Your Zoom


On Saturday, Nov. 5, Zoom will require users to update to the latest minimum desktop version every three months. Zoom may also require other periodic updates to address feature and security issues. Therefore, all Zoom users should make sure to download and install the most recent version of the Zoom desktop client or mobile app available from the Zoom download center

If updates are not done in advance, members may have to wait for updates to install when they click on their Zoom invitations for class. 

Updates help ensure that Zoom users receive the latest Zoom features, as well as any privacy and security enhancements to the platform.

 

Course Evaluations for Fall Session 2


The OMET (Office of Measurement and Evaluation of Teaching) evaluations for session 2 will be emailed to you next week.  

Your OMET evaluation will come from this address:
TeachingSurvey@omet.pitt.edu

If you have dropped a course, you will still receive an OMET evaluation for that course. If your reason for dropping is related to course content or instructor, please fill out the evaluation to let us know why. 

If you are experiencing any issues with the OMET, DO NOT CONTACT The Office of Measurement and Evaluation of Teaching. Instead, email us at osher@pitt.edu, and we will direct you to  a new alternate survey that more closely reflects the metrics from OMET.
