Start using Zoom

Last changed: 05 March 2024

Zoom can reinforce learning with the help of video-based communication in an easy and timesaving way, meaning that you can advise, provide instant feedback, discuss with other teachers or students at any time, anywhere.

There are different collaborative tools in Zoom, for example video breakout rooms, multi-sharing, polling and group chat. These tools lead to increase the students’ active participation and to promote collaboration and enable micro learning.

Functionality

Easy screen sharing with annotation capabilities and the possibility to work with a shared whiteboard.

For group exercises and discussions in smaller settings, use the possibility to split up the main meeting into so-called breakout rooms.

Create polls to be answered during the meeting, share the result with the participants, and create a report.

How do I get access to Zoom?

If you have an SLU-computer you can find the Zoom-client for PC in Software Center, or if you use Mac you find it in Self Service. If you are a student, you can find it here: studentsharet.
