Online video conferencing is about to Zoom in - LX at UTS

What is Zoom?

Zoom is an online video conferencing tool offering a host of features that makes it ideal for an interactive learning experience. Zoom is a highly flexible and reliable tool that can be used in creative ways to enhance learning and teaching. For example, staff can:

  • offer one-on-one and small group consultations
  • share and annotate a reading or paper
  • deliver a presentation and allow students to present
  • poll students’ views or knowledge on a subject
  • assign students into breakout groups for a collaborative activity
  • meet with academics inside and outside UTS.

Take a look at this short video featuring Associate Professor Jason Harris from Law speaking about how using Zoom made his subject more interactive.
