Utah Valley University used/uses Microsoft Teams as a way to connect to everyone in the campus including student peers, faculty, and professors. This served as a great communication tool during pandemic where students could easily attend live broadcast class and remain up to date regarding any school related work. For example, at present, Microsoft Teams serves as a effective means for constant communication between E2I candidates and share ideas virtually.

Elizabeth City State University has helped students connect virtually through the use of various software programs. We use Blackboard and Zoom for academic and campus-based events, but ECSU has also held virtual art classes, fitness classes, and virtual tours of the campus. This helped students stay socially engaged on campus. ECS created a social platform for students to interact and promote their events and businesses on campus called Vikings Engage.
At North Carolina Central University, they have came up with a couple ways for us to interact virtually being that we are limited with coming on campus. In addition to transitioning most classes to an online platform, which we use Blackboard, Zoom and WebEx. We also use a social platform called Slack. Slack is similar to a instant messenger and is amazing to use for communication. Also through the CARES act, the school has now been providing laptops and other equipment.
TSU uses Elearning as a learning platform which connects students and faculty. Students have the opportunity to access assignments, resources, links, connect with their professors, etc.

At Virginia State University, our main platform is Blackboard, where we can view all assignments, tests, course materials, and discussion boards. We use Zoom for any online synchronous or Hy-flex courses, and some classes use GroupMe for quick announcements, updates, or for communication between students.
At SMC we use Canvas as our main platform for class resources, assignments, discussions, etc. Students are able to engage in online discussions via canvas for all of their individual classes. Professors are able to give student kudos to compliment students efforts in class. The most recent tool is a chat function on canvas for professors to talk directly to students like slack. Otherwise some professors use slack channels, zoom, office hours via zoom, etc. to engage with students.
Agreed! SMC utilizes a bunch of group chats for direct communication with students. I fount the SMC Go App to be another way to connect. It offer students information about the campus. An ai named pearl who answers most questions or directs you to the appropriate webpage. Theres even a marketplace for students to sell their books. Its a great tool that fosters community and provides a bunch of information.
At Santa Monica College the faculty has really tried extensively to find ways to connect with students and students connect with one another. For instance, our college has a discord channel called Santa Monica College Community in which students can share daily inspiration content like funny memes, quotes or photos of our pets. We also have remote viewing parties. As for faculty and student communication Canvas just launched Pronto which essentially is an instant chat messenger. The messages are seen by everyone in the class.
