Abstract

PROBLEMLike many schools currently teaching online due to the 2020 pandemic, the university is relying on Google Classroom for classroom management and Zoom for synchronous teaching.Zoom is a useful tool, as it features "breakout rooms", so that participants of a meeting can move to smaller groups for group discussion, instead of always being in the main meeting.This is particularly useful in a class setting, as students in the breakout rooms can talk and work together more easily.
