Zoom – Education at Scale

As we move our lectures online due to COVID-19, I’ve been surprised to find that online lectures are much better if they are live, with students participating in real time, rather than pre-recorded. Live lectures are more fun to give, allow natural interaction and a sense of community, provide structure for students at home, and even open up some neat new interaction possibilities. Of course we also record these lectures so that students who can’t make the lecture time can still watch later.
