I am thinking about doing clicker-type questions as well as groupwork with instant response as the core of my online synchronous class. With this in mind, I am considering either Top Hat (which the students have used as clickers, but what I am not sure about is how well it works for groupwork) versus Learning Catalytics (which has a mode that I know works well and forces students to do the questions themselves first … which I have a love/hate relationship with – and has some question types that might be interesting but I am not as certain about the interface). I’d like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!
FWIW: the class is general chemistry.

Does your college/university have an official policy on webcams on/off during Zoom classes?
Do you, as faculty, have something written in the syllabus that addresses the issue?
I am a part of a college-wide sub committee, and we are looking for best practices. Personally, I feel uneasy teaching to black rectangles.
