Zoom
What is it?
Zoom is software that supports virtual meetings, conference calls, webinars, and classrooms. Users can record sessions, send chats, open polls, share screens, create whiteboards, and make breakout rooms.
Examples and Implementation
- Use Zoom whiteboard templates or annotation tools to foster discussions and brainstorming sessions
- Zoom polls and quizzes can be used to promote active learning and check for understanding
- Breakout rooms can be great for small group activities and practice sessions
- You can enable captions and transcripts to promote equity and inclusion in virtual or live sessions
- Zoom also has options for creating appointment schedules. These can be used to share with colleagues for collaborative projects or to help students find times to meet with you (and it can help cut down on scheduling emails!).
