Zoom is an online meeting tool with microphones, cameras, screen sharing, and much
more that can create an opportunity for active learning with real-time conversations.
Many of the teaching practices you utilize in a face-to-face physical classroom setting
can be tweaked and used in a Zoom meeting.
Zoom is not to be used for the transmission of patient data, or for any clinical needs,
and host accounts will only be provided to Augusta University students, faculty and
staff.
