BlogPost Banner 27

Almost all businesses now use video conferencing as part of their communication options. The benefits of video conferencing are frequently mentioned, but what are the drawbacks?

Video conferencing offers benefits and drawbacks, just like any other tool. In this article we will discuss the pros and cons of each video conferencing tool.

Zoom

Pros: Online platforms like Zoom enable teachers to use a variety of communication techniques. Students can receive comments and information from teachers on an individual basis. Teachers may also delegate and evaluate coursework remotely.


Cons: Lessons delivered online do not provide the same degree of engagement in class activities taught in an actual classroom setting.

Lessonspace

Pros: For teachers who are not too tech smart, it’s very user-friendly. Lessonspace is web-based, so even your technophobic kids will have no trouble accessing it.


Cons: Minor problems when uploading large Pdf documents. Rarely, some tools won’t function properly. Bad internet connectivity can cause audio distortion.

BitPaper

Pros: For those who want to collaborate and interact with others online effectively, including online teachers. BitPaper’s feature-rich whiteboard and powerful video conferencing tools make it simple to write effortlessly online and converse properly in real time.


Cons: Because Bitpaper is intended to function as a synchronized platform, changing the emphasis inside a page or to a different page has an impact on all users. It is impossible, for instance, for two users viewing different pages.

Bramble

Pros: Users can freely navigate the spaces, engaging with the content and one another at their own leisure, while teachers integrate anything into the adaptable online spaces.

Cons: The limited collaborative and accessibility features may limit the application in the classroom.

Did You Know?

In a recent study published by the National Center for Policy Analysis, online tutoring was found to have more benefits than disadvantages and may replace in-person tutoring in schools. One of the advantages is that it can be more flexible because it allows students to work on their own schedule and not have to worry about being around other students for a certain amount of time. These factors make online tutoring better for students who are struggling with certain subjects.Another advantage is, in many cases, online tutoring has no cost to the student. This is advantageous because it allows more students to be able to use the service for their own benefit rather than only a few who can afford it. Using this type of teaching allows all students a chance at success in their education due to its accessibility and low cost.
