Online Collaboration/Meetings

UND offers multiple online collaboration and meetings tools that allow users to see, hear, and interact with one another in real-time. Some of these solutions, such as Zoom and Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, may be leveraged into offering an online course environment that matches many of the learning objectives of traditional face-to-face classroom settings.

Zoom

Zoom is a cloud-based videoconferencing and collaboration platform. With Zoom you have the flexibility to create virtual classrooms and invite students to join from their desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Students can also share content from their devices such as PowerPoint presentations, and YouTube videos. Zoom is available to all faculty, staff, and students for academic purposes.

All UND accounts are now automatically created with pro license.
