Set up Zoom Breakout Rooms

Zoom breakout rooms allow tutors to divide a live online class into smaller groups for discussion or collaborative activities. They help recreate the feel of small group work from a physical classroom, giving learners more opportunities to speak, ask questions, and engage with the learning. Breakout rooms can support a range of teaching approaches, from peer discussion and problem solving to reflection and group feedback, while also helping learners feel more comfortable participating.

Why use breakout rooms?

• They increase learner participation by giving everyone more space to contribute.
• They support collaborative learning and peer to peer discussion.
• They can improve focus and confidence, especially for learners who may be less comfortable speaking in large groups.
