ZOOM - MDX account access

 Hello MDX Team,

As many of you know, as I prepared my inquiry for Module 2, I was asking about setting up a ZOOM account with MDX for my interviews in Module 3. I asked in our What's App group and received some great ideas. I did follow advice and created my own account using my MDX email, however, I then realized the free personal account has its limitations. Limitations that would not work for group interviews. Now I have made a discovery I want to share in hopes of helping others find and use the MDX ZOOM account more easily. 

Here is how I set up my ZOOM under the MDX licence using my MDX email. There are settings already chosen and locked by the University but there are lots you can personalize. 

1. When logged in to your MDX student account, click on My Learning Essentials. 
2. On the right-hand side in a column is the list of Online learning - useful resources. Yes, they are useful resources! 
3. In that list, you will see Zoom and newrow guides. Click that. 
4. From there you are taken to a guide. Skip through to 3.1 Accessing ZOOM for the first time. There is a link below the title. Click the link.
5. select Sign in
6. Log in with your student email and MDX password. 
7. And Voila! You can create a ZOOM account under MDXs licence that allows for 300 participants at once and no time limit. You can schedule reoccurring meetings and more. 

I feel better knowing I have that important data gathering tool ready to go for the next module. 

I hope this helps you and future MAPP students.
