Zoom integration for schools and colleges

Meetings are created through an app your IT administrator authorises once on the institution’s Zoom account, using the licences you already hold. Teachers do not manage Zoom credentials to have classes created for them. How many classes can run at the same time still depends on the host licences in your Zoom plan.

Not unless your Zoom settings require it. Students open the link from the period in their app. If your institution requires signed-in participants, that setting applies to these meetings exactly as it does to any other.

After the class ends, iVake reads the participant report for that meeting, which lists each participant’s name, email, join time, leave time and duration. These are matched to the students enrolled in the section, and present, late, left early or absent is recorded against your rules.

A cancelled period deletes the Zoom meeting, so nobody joins an empty class out of habit. A rescheduled period moves the meeting’s time and keeps its link. Changing one class in a series leaves the rest of the series untouched.

Recordings stay on the institution’s Zoom account, not in a teacher’s personal storage. iVake links each one to its class, and access is set per course: all enrolled students, only those who attended, or staff only. Access does not depend on the teacher still working for you.

It creates standard Zoom meetings, which suit lectures, tutorials and seminars. Webinars are a separate Zoom product with their own licence, and large events such as orientations are usually run from Zoom directly. Talk to us if you need webinars created from iVake.
