[LIBRARYDIR] [UCE] Re: [EXTERNAL] InSpace

[Henkle, Jeannie]

Our Nursing department is currently looking into it. Here's what our Nursing Director (Jenny Capelo) said: "Nursing Deans and Directors saying superior to Zoom far better option for group work...going to try the free trial."

Thank you,

Good morning! I'm wondering if any of your libraries and/or colleges use InSpace. It looks like a much more flexible version of zoom, specifically designed for students who want, perhaps, online study rooms with more control over their movement than zoom offers.
If you are using it, please let me know how you like it and if you'd recommend it!
Thanks!

InSpace platform provides the type of virtual meeting space we so desperately need to create the 'feel' and utility of a live classroom. When it comes to innovations in technology, timing is critical.
