Zoom’s breakout rooms provide a unique opportunity to learn to create active and engaging learning experiences for students.

- Move beyond holding ineffective, unstructured breakout room discussions
- Create distinctive breakout room roles for students to promote active participation
- Employ a variety of tools and techniques to enhance breakout room experiences
- Pre-assign students to breakout rooms or allow them to chose their own
- Design creative ways for students to report breakout room outcomes to the whole class
