PANEL/ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: How to choose – Synchronous Collaboration tools at Mason (90 Mins)

Abstract

GMU has made several collaborative teaching tools available over the years and has made some major changes in the last 18 months in response to the pandemic and changing business needs and practices. Mason now has three different collaborative tools available for use by our faculty and students: Blackboard Collaborate, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. Confusing, right? What differentiates one from another? Which is the best? Or is there a best? This session will present an overview of the features of each tool and highlight how each may best meet the needs of your classes.
