Article Last Updated June 2021 The University Covid Response Team is recommending that instructors who are new to delivering lectures online use either Zoom or Google Meet for any synchronous sessions they require. Update January 2021: Adobe Connect (eClassLive) has been decommissioned as of January 3rd 2021. The table below summarizes the capabilities and functionality of Zoom and Google Meet:
Notes: - the Zoom licenses are renewed annually every March; - If you are instructing a class of more than 100 students there are important Google Meet changes to be aware of: Google announced that access to Meet premium features (e.g. hosting meetings up to 250 people and recording meetings to Google Drive) would be available temporarily to all G Suite and G Suite for Education customers. Beginning October 1, access to these premium features will expire for all UAlberta G Suite accounts. Zoom is now the recommended online lecture tool for classes of more than 100 students.
