Virtual Learning Spaces
Learning spaces aren’t limited to the physical world. Digital learning spaces can also expand the boundaries of what’s possible with learning.
Zoom & Microsoft Teams
Zoom and Microsoft Teams are web-conferencing services that allow faculty, staff, and students to collaborate with anyone through video or audio meetings. They also provide tools for faculty and staff to host virtual events or to hold class during inclement weather. They can be browser-based and do not require any special software.
