How do you determine the best tool to use to support your online teaching?

Don’t forget FLIE’s Guidance for remote delivery which was compiled to support staff in the use of Brightspace to better support students in their learning with the move to online delivery. The guidance includes information on tools that can be utilised for engagement, communication and collaboration with links to further resources.

What’s the best tool to use for the delivery of live synchronous sessions? Zoom is integrated with Brightspace and is a stable platform which includes video, screen sharing and breakout rooms. Panopto live webcasting is less interactive but is well-suited to large audiences. And what about MS Teams for collaboration and meetings with colleagues and students?

We’ve put together a side by side comparison of our supported teaching tools to help simplify the range of tools on offer and their benefits, and to help you  determine what will work best for you.
