14 User Comments “We have several students who are spread across the state and Zoom allows them to be in class, literally be there, they give PowerPoint presentations, they work in groups, they are active class participants. We record courses and seminars and put them on blackboard or on YouTube for the world to see. Simply put Zoom allows us to expand our educational reach in ways that were not possible before.” Carrie Lykins Entomology & Plant Pathology

15 User Comments “Zoom maximizes my functionality through its uncluttered simplicity. Oftentimes, software adds more “bells and whistles” for users. That’s not what I’ve wanted from zoom or any other audio/video conferencing platform. All I want is for it to work, and work well. Zoom has done that every time.” Heather Wallace Family and Consumer Science

16 User Comments “As an administrative support person, I am excited to suggest this user friendly, web-based conferencing option to our faculty, staff and graduate students. Zoom is a great online meeting service provided to UTIA employees!” Shelley Johnson Animal Science

17 User Comments “Having a reliable distance meeting platform like Zoom has enabled us to cut down on face to face meetings. As a result, productivity has increased due to eliminating travel times across the state, and has also saved valuable travel funds that we rely on throughout the year.” Justin Stefanski Wilson County Extension

18 User Comments “By using Zoom, we save thousands of dollars in travel cost compared to face-to-face meetings, and we have a richer meeting experience compared to a conference call.” Tim Cross UT Extension Dean
