I, like many others, was forced to move a face-to-face college class to virtual synchronous meetings in Zoom. This term I am teaching a group dynamics course. One of my goals is to have my students experience similar dynamics and processes as they would face-to-face. Typically, I do this through experiential group activities. My task has become converting these experiences to a virtual environment.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar.

Also, educators can create a "virtual" classroom and create assignments that contain: videos, worksheets, etc. Finally, TeachVid makes it easy to flip a classroom or lesson and let student's learn at their own pace.
