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.<br>

Regards, 
Shaun
