7th May 2020 by Raphaele von Koettlitz
There are so many video-conference platforms to choose from for online meetings, but which are the most secure? We’ve been hearing lots in the news about different platforms getting hacked and about covert data harvesting. It’s important to choose a platform that you feel confident and comfortable using, that will protect the privacy of your students.
We have compiled the quick-links to the security and privacy statements for all our favourite tools. Easy to find and all in one place, so you can make an informed decision over which tool is best for you and your students.
