Having different communication tools to choose from makes it easier for students to join lessons, no matter where they are. Muzeg suggests offering at least two options to give students flexibility. This way, if one tool doesn’t work in their country, they have another option.

Top Communication Tools

  1. Skype and FaceTime: These are popular because they’re easy to use and reliable. Students can pick their favorite tool when booking a lesson, making sure they are comfortable with it.
  2. Google Hangouts and WeChat: These are great alternatives if Skype or FaceTime are unavailable. Google Hangouts works well with other Google services, and WeChat is widely used in Asia.
  3. Zoom and QQ: Zoom is famous for online classes because it’s stable and has many educational features. QQ is another good option, especially in China.

Setting Up Your Tools

Teachers can add their preferred tools in the "Communication Tools” section in their Teacher Settings on Muzeg. This helps you keep everything organized and ready for your lessons.

Using Unlisted Tools

You can still use your favorite tool with the student's permission if your favorite tool isn't listed. Ensure they agree to switch tools and respect their choice if they don't want to change. Clear communication is key.

Getting Ready for Each Lesson

When a lesson is booked, the selected tool will be shown. If an external tool like Skype is chosen, the teacher must add the student as a contact before the lesson. To ensure you have the right person, message them to confirm.

Using Muzeg’s Built-In Tools

There are guides for students using Muzeg’s tools, like the Muzeg Classroom, to help everyone familiarize themselves with them. These guides ensure that both teachers and students can use the tools effectively. ( Refer to Muzeg Classroom Guidance for Teachers)
