Video Conferencing
Zoom
The University has negotiated a one-year agreement for instructors and staff to have their own Zoom Education license at no cost to the individual or their department. A Zoom Education license is similar to the Standard Pro license that can be purchased individually; it allows the individual to run their own interactive meetings with up to 300 participants.
More information is avaliable at the ACT website
