Conferences are primarily used for virtual lectures, virtual office hours, and discussion of grades with a student (if you invite only that student), or to coach a group of students. Pros: Live sessions. You can also invite guests (don’t need to have UCF login) to the virtual classroom. It can be interactive. You can provide recorded lectures without having to worry about hosting. Videos last 14 days in the course. They cannot be downloaded. Cons: Need to attach to a computer a sketch pad if you want to do a lot of writing, as writing with a mouse is not good, however, a fix is to upload a full presentation and annotate if a digital pen is not available.
