With existing agreements for BlueJeans and WebEx* set to expire in 2022, Georgia Tech plans to conduct a soft launch of the Zoom video collaboration platform as part of an effort to evaluate and introduce a new videoconferencing solution for academic course delivery and collaboration in Spring 2022. This launch is a culmination of efforts completed by a review committee, comprised of members from each division and college along with students and technology representatives, who worked identify requirements and evaluate possible solutions on their ability to:

• Enable secure, reliable, and flexible course delivery and student learning.
• Support virtual classrooms and meetings of multiple sizes.
• Facilitate effective collaboration and communication across the Institute.
