Zoom is a simple web conferencing app that has the tools you need to engage your students in a variety of educational opportunities. Attendees can easily join your sessions via their mobile devices or from their computers. Webcam, microphone, chat, polling, screen-sharing integration, and ability to control others’ shared content creates a highly interactive environment for attendees no matter their location.
