Class
Class for Zoom is the first essential synchronous learning application that allows teachers to deliver an in-person classroom experience online. Teachers are using Class to simplify attendance, grade assignments, talk one-on-one with students, and more - without ever leaving Zoom. Class for Zoom is designed as an education interface for Zoom that adds teaching tools, and additional capabilities for classroom administration.
Class allows teachers to deliver engaging lessons and a connected learning experience for students in the virtual classroom.

- Assignments can be easily created, delivered, and automatically graded in Class, with due dates ranging from in-class to a future date
