In this series, teachers of Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) share their experiences, insights and opinions on different educational tools they used during their online courses. To inspire you as a fellow lecturer, and save you the time so you don't need to figure out things for yourself.
First in this series is the annotation tool in Zoom. In the video below, Floor van Rosse, assistant professor at the pharmacy department of Erasmus Medical Center and CLI Fellow, will show how she used this tool during her course and explain to you why this tool could enrich your courses too.

- An important insight to mention: don't use the beta option ’slides as virtual background’ if you want to use the annotation tool. When you use this option, the Annotate option won't appear in the menu, so students won't be able to use it.
- Some colleagues also mention differences between the app and the browser version of Zoom. Please be aware of that.
- Check TeachEUR for a nice corresponding teaching session to use the Annotation tool with: the online discussion.
