Zoom

Last updated on 16 April 2025
Zoom is the interactive online conferencing tool for teaching and learning at VU Amsterdam. Let students interact with you and each other through video and chat. Use an online whiteboard, share your screen or do a poll, so you and your students can really work together online. Zoom’s break-out-rooms let you divide your students in smaller private groups, so they can discuss a topic or practice their skills.

Phasing out Zoom 

As of May 1, 2026, the VU-wide contract with Zoom will be terminated. Microsoft Teams has improved considerably over the last years and offers enough comparable functionality to replace Zoom equally. Coming year, employees still working with Zoom will be supported by IT and SOZ in the transition to Teams.  

More information will follow. 

  

What can you do with Zoom?

Use Zoom to present and collaborate real-time (sychronous) online using video, audio, chat, screen sharing and white-board.

Didactics

Zoom is very suitable to support active blended learning and fits very well in the Flipped Classroom approach to education design when you teach online or in hybrid mode.
