How Merithub’s Online Classroom is different from other meeting tools like ZOOM and Microsoft Teams?
- Zoom and Microsoft Teams are popular video conferencing software for online meetings and they are good for meetings. But they provide 20% of what is needed to run online tutoring programs. They have optimized their workflow for corporates whereas MeritHub has optimized its workflow for online tutoring. Tutors can upload all their study material in the format of ppt, pdf, doc, excel, audio/video, or images and bring them to MeritHub whiteboard in one click. MeritHub whiteboard comes with super rich annotation capabilities. Once you upload files in the MeritHub drive, you can reuse them in different classes again and again.
- Zoom or other video conferencing software will never give features like playing gamified quizzes inside it in the presence of the teacher. There is no workflow to manage tutors, students, their roles and permissions, invoicing, real-time student engagement analytics, reports to reduce no-shows, structured content sharing, teacher’s availability, calendar, scheduling, bookings and many other things.
