Secondary students planning protest to stop Hong Kong schools using Zoom app for online teaching

By ITS Education Asia


SCMP journalist Chan Ho-him reports that Taiwan, India and Germany have restricted use of Zoom because of security issues. In Singapore Zoom was banned temporarily in schools after hackers hijacked an online lesson and showed obscene pictures to students. New security measures were put in place before schools were allowed to resume using the app last week.

In an online poll of 14,000 secondary students this month, the group found that four out of five had been using Zoom for online learning, and 79 per cent opposed its use because of concerns over data leaks and “Zoombombing”.

There have been calls for restrictions after at least two Hong Kong schools were victims of “Zoombombing” earlier this month, when hackers invaded teaching sessions to share obscene material.

At ITS we use Blackboard Collaborate for our one on one online lesson. The Blackboard Collaborate is state of the art software which provides an interactive one-on-one tutorial experiences. As an added benefit it also records the lessons for your review.
