About
Zoom was introduced at Butler in 2016 as a pilot solution for web conferencing on campus. It has been used for distance education, interviews, online meetings and eLearning. Zoom is the Butler supported technology for synchronous communication as of April 2017. Those who have the meeting URL can attend a Zoom meeting even if they aren’t affiliated with Butler. Any member of the Butler community (students, faculty, staff) can use their Butler username and password to create Zoom meetings. Zoom has integration tools for Outlook, Chrome and more. Zoom integrates into Canvas as an external tool.
Mediated Spaces
Review IT’s list of mediated spaces to find a room for your next Zoom meeting. Choose a room with a camera located in the front of the room for Zoom meetings with guest lectures where there will be student participation.

ExamSoft is a secure testing platform that allows the ability to streamline the testing process and better track student performance.
