Scheduling office hours, advising appointments, student consultations, team meetings, and professional collaborations can quickly become time-consuming when handled through repeated emails and calendar checks. This workshop introduces educators to Zoom Scheduler as a practical tool for simplifying appointment booking and reducing scheduling back-and-forth.
Participants will explore how Zoom Scheduler can be used to create booking pages, set availability, manage appointment types, connect calendar options, and automatically generate Zoom meeting details. The session will focus on real educator workflows, including office hours, advising sessions, student support meetings, project consultations, department meetings, training sessions, and collaborative planning.
By the end of the workshop, educators will be prepared to create and share a Zoom Scheduler booking page that helps students, colleagues, and other stakeholders schedule meetings more efficiently while supporting clearer communication, better time management, and improved access to support.
