  • Color Printing and Copies the Harnish Law Library

    The Harnish Law Library maintains two copiers that will print in either color or black and white.  This service is for Pepperdine users only.

    Price per color impression is $0.35.  This means if you print a color document that is duplexed (printed on both sides) you will be charged $0.70 for that piece of paper (if there’s color on both sides).

    Note that if you choose to print a document that has some pages that are black and white and some that contain color, each black and white page will be charged at $0.06/impression (side of a page of paper) and the color impressions (sides of a page) will be charged at $0.35 each.  Yep, it’s a kinda smart system.

    To access this color copier using your laptop or other device please go to THIS PAGE for detailed instructions.

    Shared Account Users: For instructions on how to print documents from a personal computer using a shared account, please review this guide.

    Information on School of Law provided print credit to School of Law students is HERE.

    To do a quick color (or B&W) print job:

    1. Make sure your document is in PDF format
    2. Make sure you have money on your ID Card (to add or to check go here) — If you don’t have funds on your account (separate from the law school printing account) you can’t print anything.

    5. Then click on the Web Print option on the left hand list of options then click on Submit a Job
    6. Follow the prompts (pick FindmeColor or FindmeBW)  Note that the charge for color is $0.35 per impression (but only for the pages with COLOR on them, pages with black and white are charged at $0.06)
    7. Select your number of copies (that’s your only option on this page – at this point this service does not support duplexing, or stapling)
    8. Upload your file — or drag it to the designated area on the screen.
    9. You will need to go to the copier to Release the job
    10. At the copier, login using your Wavenet credentials
    11. Select your print job from the list and release it

  • Print and Copy Services at Caruso Law

    To send a print job start here: print.pepperdine.edu

    To setup your printing go here for complete instructions.

    Color Printing is $0.35 per side of a page 

    Black and White Printing is $0.06 per side of a page

    Print accounting and print charges are managed by the University.  

    Charges go to your Pepperdine ID card’s linked Waves Cash Global account.

    You cannot print if you do not have funds on deposit in your Waves Cash Global account.*

    *Students at Caruso Law start each term with a print credit.

    Pepperdine University has multi-function devices (MFDs) from Sharp (you can still call them copiers but they’re much more).  You will find two such MFDs in the public area of the Harnish Law Library at Caruso Law.  Additionally, there is another MFD in the Career Development Office.

    Students, Faculty, and Staff can print, scan, or copy on the MFDs using an account associated with their Pepperdine ID cards.  Students buy copy and print credit here:   https://get.cbord.com/pepperdine/full/prelogin.php 

    All enrolled students can print to all Sharp MFDs in public areas at any of the Pepperdine Southern California campuses (click here to learn about print credit for students enrolled at Caruso Law).   Printing in color or black and white is possible and a document with a mix of color and black and white pages will only incur the higher cost for color on the pages where there is color.

    Typically, print jobs are sent via the web using a web-browser interface.  In nearly all circumstances, your document that you want to print must be in PDF format.

    You transfer/upload your PDF file to the print.pepperdine.edu site and select your parameters (number of copies, etc.).  If you want to print in color, you want to select a “findmecolor” solution (see more information here) or “findmebw” for black and white.

    Then once the document is uploaded, you go to the copier nearest you — Caruso Law? go to Harnish Law Library and see the copiers not too far from the Public Services Desk.

    “Tap” your ID card or type in your Wavenet credentials (there’s a slide-out keyboard stored under the copier’s screen), select the print job you want to “release” and you have your document!

    • Classcaster: Free blogging and podcasting tools/network designed for law professors to supplement their course materials and link them to other colleagues around the country.
  • Print Credit for Students at Caruso School of Law

    On the first day of each term students enrolled at Caruso Law will receive $30 of non-refundable, non-transferable print/copy credit to be used through the University’s copy/print system called PaperCut.

    PaperCut manages the copy and print functions of the Sharp Multi-function printer/copiers.

    Note that the credit provided by the Caruso School of Law each term does not carry forward if a balance remains at the end of the term.  The first day of a term is the first day of classes. The last day of a term is the day before the start of the next term (first day of classes for Fall, Spring, Summer).

    New students will not receive credit until the first day of classes.

    The credit provided by the Caruso School of Law can only be used for copy or print jobs.  This credit cannot be used at the cafeteria for food purchases.

    When the credit applied to a student’s PaperCut account is exhausted before the end of the term, further copier or print use must be covered by funds provided by the student in their Waves Cash Global account.  If a student has funds in that account, there is no need for any action to be taken as the system will automatically charge the copy or print usage against the available funds on deposit in that account.  If there are no funds in a student’s Waves Cash Global account, funds must be added to make copies or print.

    The Sharp Multi-function printer/copiers are located at all of the Pepperdine University Southern California campuses in student-accessible areas including the Pepperdine libraries.

  • How to set up Zoom Meeting Breakout Rooms

    Pepperdine Caruso Law is dedicated to assisting you in making the transition to online teaching. To that end, we have created this guide. Please contact us with any questions!

    Note: Only the host of the meeting may manage breakout rooms. A co-host will not be able to access this feature.

    Please carefully read and follow these instructions for setting up breakout rooms in your online class meetings. You will need to be fully able to manage your online class breakout rooms. To view and download this document in a separate window, please click.

    Enabling “Breakout Room” Setting in your Zoom account

    Go to pepperdine.zoom.us and click “Sign In” to log-in to your account.

    To get started, view the “Meeting Settings” tab on the left-hand side of the page.

    Verify that “Breakout rooms” is checked under advanced settings.

    How to create the Breakout Rooms and Assigning Students while hosting your Zoom meeting

    Once you are hosting your Zoom meeting, the “Breakout Rooms” option will be shown at the bottom of the Zoom panel.

    If you are sharing your screen, the button can be found under the “More” menu.

    After clicking “Breakout Rooms”, you will be shown the eligible number of participants and asked how many rooms you would like to create. From here, you may either allow Zoom to assign your students to rooms “Automatically,” or assign the students to each room yourself “Manually.”

    If you would like to manually assign your students, then click “Manually” and proceed to select “Create Breakout Rooms.”

    From here, participants are still in the main meeting. By hovering over the breakout room, you can rename, delete or assign members to each room.

    To assign participants, click on “Assign,” check their names and click “Assign” again for each breakout room.

    If you wish to change an individual’s assignment, you can hover over the name and make the desired adjustment.

    How to create the Breakout Rooms and Assigning Students prior to your Zoom meeting.

    Note: A new Zoom meeting ID will be created. Please email CSOL Information Services ([email protected]) that you have created a new Zoom meeting ID for your class.

    Go to pepperdine.zoom.us and click “Sign In” to log-in to your account.

    Click “Meetings” > “Schedule a New Meeting“.

  • Setup a Virtual Backdrop for Zoom

    So the backdrop for your Zoom meetings isn’t that amazing? Maybe you can spice it up?

    Please note though, it does take more than a little computer power to do this as it’s a real time graphics effect that makes this work.

    First check out this support article at Zoom: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/210707503-Virtual-Background

    Short cheat sheet version:

    • First go into your Zoom website profile — go to peppedine.zoom.us and click on “Settings.”
    • After clicking “Settings” go to “In Meeting (Advanced)” and make sure that the dot next to “Virtual Background” is slid to the on or “blue” position. If it’s gray, it’s not on.
    • Make sure you have the Zoom application installed on your computer (not using the web app).
    • Open the application
    • Login using SSO and Pepperdine as your domain
    • And you are presented with the Zoom app’s desktop version
    • Select the icon in the upper right of your Zoom screen that represents you (for me it’s my face)
    • Then select the “Settings” choice in the drop down menu
    • Then select Virtual Background
    • Then select your background from the group.

    Uploading Your Own Virtual Background

    In this example, we will be using a background developed for Pepperdine Carruso Law School’s 50th anniversary — you may use this background for your own personal use!

    To save the Pepperdine Carruso Law School background, click and drag the image below to your desktop. This will save in your desktop files for personal use and for following along in this tutorial.

    1. From the window you were left at on the previous guide, click on the “+” button on the top right corner.

    2. A pop-up window with your file options will now appear, and you may browse and select the proper image. After selecting the image, click “Open” to have it download onto the Zoom software.

    3. You will now see your downloaded image displayed as an option for choosing a virtual background. Select the image, and you may now see the background in the video preview above. If you would like to remove this image from your options, click the “x” on the top right of the corresponding image.

    Please note that this new virtual background will only be functional on the computer where you made this setting.

  • Microphone Settings — trouble-shooting

    If you are having trouble with your microphone when using Zoom please check your microphone input settings to ensure there is input level.

    Both Windows and Mac settings are addressed below:

    On MS Windows it would look something like this:

    In the bottom right corner of your screen, you will notice the volume icon in the system tray.

    image3.png

    Right-Click on the volume icon and click Open Sound Settings.

    image4.png

    In the Sounds Settings window, look for Input and Choose your input device and then click the blue Device properties link (circled in red) in the screenshot below..

    image1.png

    This will pull up the Microphone Properties window. Click the Levels Tab and you will then be able to adjust your microphone volume settings. 

    image2.png

    The volume level does not have to be at 100%, but should be high enough that the computer can detect audio. 

    Please make sure that your microphone is not muted. If you see the icon below, click the speaker icon to un-mute. 

    image.png

    Once you determine the best settings for you and your system, click OK to save the settings and then close all settings windows upon completion of adjusting your microphone volume settings.

    For MacOS:

    ——————————–

    You will need to open your System Preferences menu, and in the second row to the right will be Sound. Click on that.

    Prefs.png

    In the Sound menu, click on the Input tab to see the list of microphones available to use. This is where you want to select the mic you’ll be using. If you’re using a laptop, it will have a built-in Internal Microphone that is usually selected by default.

    internal.png

    If you have headphones with a mic attached and they are plugged in, you’ll see them listed as an External Microphone. Either of these will work, and you can test them by talking and seeing that the bars in the Input level fill up.

    external.png

    If none of this solves your microphone solution, please send a note to [email protected] or call Pepperdine University IT support at 310-506-HELP (4357).

  • When I need Zoom Support …

    If I have technical difficulty with Zoom what do I do?

    • Test your computer with Zoom before class.  Check out the audio and video settings.
    • If you have problems, the first thing to do, is to completely shut down your computer and restart.  Most computer problems are corrected with this remedy.
    • Before you begin your Zoom session, we strongly recommend that you shut down and turn off any and all extraneous applications, especially those using the camera, the microphone, or the speakers.  Turn off facebook and other social media apps. The only thing you should have running is your Chrome browser with minimal tabs open (two or three?). Avoid news sites, sites with video, other things that require more bandwidth while using Zoom.
    • Mic Problems? Try checking your microphone settings in Windows or on the Mac. Make sure that the microphone is on and is turned up enough to pickup your voice.
    • As a student you may want to use MS Word for taking notes but note that this may be an ideal time to use Google Suite apps as they are very lightweight and will save your computer’s power for more Zoom fun.
    • If your trouble shooting attempts above do not yield results, please see this comprehensive support site from Zoom
    • Note: you may find it valuable to acquire a USB headset for your Zoom classes. That will remove some variables with your computer’s audio (mic and speakers).
    • Tech Support: 
      • Please contact University Technology Support directly at 310-506-HELP (4357)
      • Secondarily, contact LawTech at [email protected] with technical questions.  
      • Zoom’s user support is available for Zoom Pro users (your Pepperdine Zoom Pro account qualifies for the Education support option — best/highest support level). Report support tickets to Zoom by:
        • Online submission via submit a request.
        • Chat live with our support team by visiting your account and selecting help in the lower right hand corner here.
        • Phone dial-in: 888-799-9666 ext 2
      • If you do not have a computer or way to connect to Zoom via the internet, please contact Dean Goodno.

    What if, as a Pepperdine Caruso Law student I have a bad internet connection?  How should I join my classes by Zoom? Can I call in?

    • You must use the Zoom app and connect via Internet. See our guide for students here.  We strongly recommend that students use a computer with a reliable internet connection for connecting to their Zoom class sessions.  Telephone dial-in will not work for attending classes remotely It is possible to connect using cell phone data to “tether” the phone’s internet connection to a laptop or desktop computer.  Check with your mobile phone provider for details on this feature.

  • Zoom for Faculty: Scheduling a class in Courses, meeting settings, and generally winning!

    This blog article covers:

    If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Information Services at [email protected] or (310) 506-7425.

    Zoom is an online meeting platform and the University’s web conferencing software that will be used for holding classes online. Zoom can be used on laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Here, you will learn how to set up your Zoom classroom link as well as how to access the session.

    Using Zoom through Courses’ Zoom Pro Tool

    As we begin to utilize Courses by Sakai as our main learning management system, it is important to know how this site can be linked with other useful softwares for the benefit and convenience of faculty and their students. Here, we will discuss some important notes on integrating Zoom with Courses.

    Courses has many tools that can be added-on to your class site, and they have numerous benefits, such as allowing students to quickly access third-party sites and overall give your teaching more dimension. Zoom is one of these tools. However, it is important to note that when the Zoom Pro tool gets added to a course site, it does not have any connection to a specific meeting session ID until a meeting is actually scheduled or imported within the tool. If you would like to schedule or important a Zoom meeting into your courses site, please watch the following video or follow these instructions.

    To view an informational video on how to utilize the Zoom Pro Tool, please view below.

    0. First, if you have not done so already, you must register for a Pepperdine Zoom account at https://pepperdine.zoom.us.  Without an account, you will receive an error in the Zoom Pro tool in Courses. 

    Once you have an account, go to Courses and log in with your Pepperdine credentials.

    1. Now, you may select “Schedule a New Meeting” at the top right to directly create a meeting within the Zoom Pro add-on in your Courses site.

    Creating your Zoom sessions in the Courses Zoom Pro tool directly is preferable to importing an existing sessions for many reasons, some including better centralization, ease of use, and less struggle when finding and sharing reports/recordings. 

    Additionally, consider setting a recurrence of the session to simplify the process. If so, it is suggested to adopt a general meeting title (e.x. LAW 1234 Class) so same title will be applicable to all future meetings. 

    For more details on the basics scheduling Zoom meetings and the potential settings you may utilize, please click here.

    2. However, if you would like to import an already scheduled Zoom meeting, click or hover over the more icon that is indicated by three vertical dots. Then, select “Import Meeting” and follow the listed instruction for copying your existing Zoom Meeting ID.

    3. You should now be able to see a list of your scheduled meetings underneath the “Upcoming Meetings” tab in your Zoom Pro tool. Please note, if your meeting is recorded, your students may access the recording by clicking on “Previous Meetings” followed by “Recording Details” of the coinciding class session.

    Additional Notes:

    • You should not use your personal meeting ID (PMI) link (high discouraged for classes, and moderately discouraged for office hours), due to some reported issues.
    • If you teach both formal Pepperdine classes and 2PEP classes, you must then navigate between the two Zoom accounts. Remember to always sign out of their Zoom app or web profile after each meeting and be sure to sign on to the correct profile based on your needs.

    For more information on how to utilize Zoom for faculty, please click here.

    For more information on Courses, please click here.

    Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Information Services at [email protected] or (310) 506-7425.

    Noteworthy Tips:

    1. We strongly recommend that students and others participating in a Zoom session use either the smartphone app (Android or iOS) or the browser-based software by logging in through https://pepperdine.zoom.us
    2. Make sure when setting up a Zoom session, the “Mute” option is selected as the default for attendees. They can un-mute themselves but if this engaged as the default for the beginning of class, things will start much more smoothly and you will find fewer audible distractions.
    3. Make sure to require attendees be Authorized to join your session. This will ensure that the names of your attendees will be the same as the names on your course roster when they appear in the Zoom session.
    4. For tips on how to maximize your remote internet experience, please click here.

    Additional Information:

    Manage Participants

    To manage participants and access their settings, the host may click the “participants” icon on the bottom toolbar.

    Here, the host can access audio/visual and control settings for the other participants in the meeting. You may manage the settings for audio, and send messages from the manage participants feature.

    Share Screen

    To share your screen in zoom, click the “share screen” icon. Then you will need to wait for the student(s) you are sharing your screen with to accept; with the sharing feature, they will be able to see your screen.

    This feature will allow you to share PowerPoints or other media with the students, mirrored on their own screen.

    You do not need to grant access to participants during screen share, and you may block participants from accessing the screen share if necessary.

    After clicking “share screen”, you will have the option to choose which screen the students can view. You may choose to have them view your entire desktop, just a browser or PowerPoint, or a different web page.

    When sharing a YouTube video, select the two checkboxes at the bottom left to optimize the sound quality of the shared video. 

    See a quick video to better understand how to share your screen.

    Breakout Groups

    One helpful feature on Zoom allows you to split your Zoom class into sub-meetings, called breakout rooms. The feature enables the host to split participants up into groups, where they can interact with each other in their own meeting space.

    Breakout rooms are separate chat rooms with full audio, screen share and visual settings. The meeting host has the ability to split the members of the class into these separate sessions automatically or manually, and can switch between sessions at any time. Up to 50 breakout rooms can be created and a room will hold 200 participants maximum.

    It is important to note that the host will need to monitor the breakout rooms and have full control of the meeting, by responding to participants’ questions and giving assistance when needed.

    To create separate breakout rooms for the participants of your meeting, click “breakout room” in the bottom tool bar.

    This will prompt you to format the room for participant number and assignment. When customized, click “create breakout rooms” to enable access to the participants of your meeting.

    There, you will be able to view the breakout room you have created, and manually assign/rename/delete the room. At the bottom of the breakout room box, you may also add rooms.

    AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT INFORMATION SERVICES AT [email protected] OR (310) 506-7425.

  • CSOL Faculty Zoom User Guide

    Zoom is an online meeting platform that can be used for holding classes online. Here, you will learn how to set up your Zoom classroom link as well as how to access the session. To view the guide in PDF format, please click here.

    This blog article covers the items below:

    • Schedule a Zoom class meeting link
    • Start a meeting
    • Manage participants
    • Share screen
    • Breakout groups

    Schedule a Zoom class meeting link (for faculty)

    1. Go to the Zoom website at http://pepperdine.zoom.us
    2. Click “Sign In.”

    You will then be directed to the Pepperdine Central Authentication Page.

    3. Login using your WaveNet username and password. (The same credentials you use for getting your Pepperdine email and WaveNet)

    4. Once logged in, click on “Meetings” on the lefthand menu.

    5. Select “Schedule a New Meeting.”

    Now, you may proceed to fill out the information for your meeting.

    6. To the right of “Topic”, fill out your course name. (It is important to include your own last name and your section, if applicable; this information will allow students to easily find your course.)

    7. At the middle of the page, find “When” and select or type in the date and start time of your class. If your start time isn’t in the drop down, pick an earlier time.

    For duration, select the estimated duration of your class. Note that it is better to go a few minutes over your estimated class time than under… Zoom also gives you a 40 minute grace period beyond your stated duration to ensure that you will have plenty of time before the session ends.

    8. Find the “Video” section. Set your “Host” and your “Participants” video settings to “Off”.

    9. Just below the Video section, locate the “Audio” settings. Set to “Computer Audio”.

    10. Scrolling down further, you will find “Meeting Options”.

    • Select: Mute Participants upon entry,
    • Enable waiting room
    • Only authenticated users can join

    11. Click “Save” at the bottom of the screen.

    12. At this point, copy the meeting link and paste it in an email along with the course name. Please send to this email [email protected].

    Starting your meeting:

    1. To join your meeting when the time and date comes, simply browse to “pepperdine.zoom.us”.

    2. On this page, login as before (see step 1).

    3. Lastly, click on “Start” to begin the class.

    Additional Information:

    Manage Participants

    To manage participants and access their settings, the host may click the “participants” icon on the bottom toolbar.

    Here, the host can access audio/visual and control settings for the other participants in the meeting. You may manage the settings for audio, and send messages from the manage participants feature.

    Share Screen

    To share your screen in zoom, click the “share screen” icon. Then you will need to wait for the student(s) you are sharing your screen with to accept; with the sharing feature, they will be able to see your screen.

    This feature will allow you to share PowerPoints or other media with the students, mirrored on their own screen.

    You do not need to grant access to participants during screen share, and you may block participants from accessing the screen share if necessary.

    After clicking “share screen”, you will have the option to choose which screen the students can view. You may choose to have them view your entire desktop, just a browser or PowerPoint, or a different web page.

    See a quick video to better understand how to share your screen.

    Breakout Groups

    One helpful feature on Zoom allows you to split your Zoom class into sub-meetings, called breakout rooms. The feature enables the host to split participants up into groups, where they can interact with each other in their own meeting space.

    Breakout rooms are separate chat rooms with full audio, screen share and visual settings. The meeting host has the ability to split the members of the class into these separate sessions automatically or manually, and can switch between sessions at any time. Up to 50 breakout rooms can be created and a room will hold 200 participants maximum.

    It is important to note that the host will need to monitor the breakout rooms and have full control of the meeting, by responding to participants’ questions and giving assistance when needed.

    To create separate breakout rooms for the participants of your meeting, click “breakout room” in the bottom tool bar.

    This will prompt you to format the room for participant number and assignment. When customized, click “create breakout rooms” to enable access to the participants of your meeting.

    There, you will be able to view the breakout room you have created, and manually assign/rename/delete the room. At the bottom of the breakout room box, you may also add rooms.
