Overall Satisfaction with Zoom Rooms
We have more than 250 Zoom rooms with most of those being in classrooms to deliver 315 academic courses a semester. This allows faculty who are not only located on our main campus, but also faculty with expertise throughout the state to teach students at various locations. Students can attend at any of 30 locations in the state, and can also join from home or work. We serve many students in the rural areas of the state.
Pros
- Zoom Rooms is built on the Zoom platform so faculty already know it and use it.
- All touch panels regardless of manufacturer have the same look and feel.
- Easy to schedule, easy to use.
- Supports a wide range of hardware from several vendors.
Cons
- Easy way for in-room participants to join the meeting from their own devices for participating in polling, breakouts, whiteboarding etc.
- Reduced our costs of classroom technology by 30% - 50%
- Cisco Webex DX80 (discontinued) and Webex Meetings
Before using Zoom Rooms we had close to 450 endpoints of CISCO Telepresence throughout the state in classrooms and conference rooms. A good product, but could only buy CISCO hardware. No third party hardware available. Zoom innovation has moved the Zoom Room technology beyond what CISCO is doing and working with their hardware partners we have choice, and various pieces we can assemble to get exactly what we need to give faculty and students the best possible learning environment, while reducing costs.
