Virtual Classroom Software Resources

G2 is providing a FORUM for users to share some expertise over these matters. As a user, I do not want to feel violated by these security breaches as many users are complaining about. I would suggest bringing these matters to the developers of ZOOM directly.

Hi Edward, I’m G2’s education industry analyst -- thanks for your question about Zoom. There are certainly many educators who have used Zoom to conduct classes at the college level. Zoom has put together a page with some best practices on hosting a class on its platform (scroll down to the heading “Educating Over Zoom): https://zoom.us/docs/en-us/covid19.html?zcid=1231. If you end up deciding to try Zoom (it has a free plan that allows for 40-minute meetings of up to 100 people), make sure to read its instructions about how to secure your virtual classroom: https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/03/27/best-practices-for-securing-your-virtual-classroom/?_ga=2.123221890.803288300.1587144641-318179102.1583940660. You may want to consider other alternatives to Zoom as well. I would recommend browsing our Virtual Classrooms category (https://www.g2.com/categories/virtual-classroom) which has a number of products that are suitable for holding online classes. They tend to include live video capability as well as features that support learning like file sharing, digital whiteboards, and breakout rooms. Hope that helps, and best of luck. Regards, Shaun

The one of best feature of Zoom is their screen sharing. When you go into screen sharing, you can limit what users see or not limit. What I mean is you can share a view of a specific app, share a view of a specific browser, or you can just do a full screen view of whatever is on your screen. So with Prezi’s présentation mode already to go, Zoom can make that happen for you.
