Zoom Tools
(Silver Lining Cafe)
Zoom platform as it’s the most commonly used video conferencing tool used by literacy programs, and also during the Silver Linings Café sessions we organized in mid 2020.
In these manuals, we provide information on how to use Zoom as well as highlight some of the features that Silver Lining Café participants have told us are useful in making the most of their Zoom meetings with learners. You will find step-by-step instructions and practitioner tips. There are six sections to this Zoom manual.
For the history of the Silver Lining Café project and outcomes, refer to the Silver Lining Café Companion Report below.
We are thankful to COFA to translate the manual to French language. The French version is available on their website.
