Google launches 'The Anywhere School' with over 50 new features
As millions of students navigate learning from home, Google has announced
a new initiative called The Anywhere School, bringing over 50 new features
across Meet, Classroom, G Suite and other products to hundreds of thousands of
viewers in more than 250 countries around the world.
In
September, the video-calling app Google Meet will have
a larger tiled view of up to 49 people and an integrated Jamboard whiteboard
for collaboration.
The company said in a statement on Tuesday that it will also release new
controls so moderators can choose to always join first, end meetings for all
participants, disable in-meeting chat, and much more.
In
October, Google will
launch custom and blurred backgrounds in Meet to provide some extra privacy.
"Breakout
rooms and attendance tracking will also be launching for all Google Enterprise
for Education customers, allowing for more engaged classes and insights on
participation," said Avni Shah, VP of Education at Google.
Later
this year, the company would roll out hand raising for all customers and
Q&A and polling for G Suite Enterprise for Education customers.
"Plus,
we'll launch a new temporary recordings feature which will be available to all
Education customers for free (premium recordings will still be part of G Suite
Enterprise for Education)," Shah informed.
