I would like to mention about the use of ZOOM in group collaboration. Nowadays in Turkey, almost all teachers and universities and even friends use this tool to engage because of Covid-19 outbreak.ZOOM is a video conferencing tool which allows its users to video chat and share screen with each other. Zoom is a platform where you can do live lectures, meetings, meetings, trainings online. You can work on both mobile and tablet devices and computers either by downloading the application or by browsing. Zoom is an audio or video call, live lecture, live lesson tool from both your mobile devices and computers. By using ZOOM, students can share learning outcomes with each other, and they can also share resources related to coursework such as a PPT, a research paper, a video, by showing their screens to others in the web conference synchronously. As a result of the researches carried out for the teachers who give lessons to continue their lessons online and the students who take lessons can continue their lessons with online education, it has been determined that the most efficient application is zoom. You can do one-to-one or group lessons.
