"One of the features that people enjoy is the whiteboard, providing opportunities for academics to present content and for students to contribute. The platform also allows for the creating of different rooms, enabling large classes to break into smaller groups for discussions. Students can then return to the main classroom to share their opinions. It integrates with LMS."
"The solution allows me to connect and collaborate with my classes."
"I like Zoom's breakout session feature."
"Zoom is a stable solution."
"Zoom's most valuable feature is communication."
"The ability to record our online language lessons is great and helps our students"
"It is very easy to use. The utilization of the network is very good."
"The interface makes it simple to use."
"The setup is rather simple and straightforward."
"Some of the most valuable features are the performance and ease of use. Also, since everyone knows about and is familiar with Zoom, you don't need to teach them how to use it."
"We faced outages when the user limit went over a certain number."
"If there were maybe more tutorials outside of what I'm aware the university is suggesting, I would take more tutorials on effective ways to deliver content. I come from the industry and content was always needed when people that were observing were smart and involved and decision-makers instead of so passively just trying to pass the course. In my imagination, the tutorials would be a tool where the learners themselves can have much more hands-on learning during a Collaborate session."
"The system can overload when too many try logging in."
"They should improve the sharing file features from accessing the internal network. If we cannnot share our documents through this meeting, our meeting productivity will decrease dramatically. We need these features."
"The other thing I would add is maybe noise reduction. That could be improved. Everyone nowadays is working from home, so sometimes we hear the dog and stuff like that."
"Zoom lacks dashboards, more could be included."
"If Zoom added the feature of Zoom Phone so that I can use it as a phone, it would be much better."
"Zoom's user interface could be improved. For example, it could have bigger buttons for elderly people."
"Troubleshooting can be complicated."
"The privacy settings need to be more apparent, otherwise anyone can wander into meeting rooms and disrupt them."
"Zoom will be cheaper if you want to have a general meeting, but if you want a real enterprise version, Cisco will be cheaper."
