The well-documented phenomenon known as “Zoom fatigue” is especially
prevalent and costly for instructors. As we come to the mid-point in the
semester, faculty who are regularly using Zoom (or other
videoconferencing tools) for classes or student meetings can evaluate
their habits and approach to these tools, ensuring a balanced and
healthy practice that benefits instructor and students. This session
will describe the varieties of Zoom fatigue and their causes, giving
tips for reducing or eliminating tiring elements of Zoom use generally
and with students specifically. Participants will be equipped with tools
for tracking Zoom use and mental energy and tactics for creating space
on Zoom for enlivening interactions rather than draining encounters.
