Virtual Meeting Rooms to Support Remote Learning in Times of Pandemic: A Comparative Analysis
Abstract
Due to the need to use information and communication technologies in remote learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a demand for systems that emulated virtual classrooms. To support teaching institutions and education professionals in choosing these technologies, a survey of the characteristics of these systems was carried out, thus allowing the selection of the best ones in the context of supporting teaching-learning for a given context. In this paper, a comparative analysis between online videoconferencing platforms that can be used to support remote learning is presented. As a result, we obtained a set of essential characteristics for those who are looking for free software in order to filter systems in support of remote learning.
