Abstract
School webinars are used to raise student awareness of a topic or issue. The provided relevant information is transmitted via the Zoom Cloud Meeting Application. It is significant to turn everyone’s attention to the current situation of academic learning institutions to broaden the horizons of perspectives among students, teachers, the Department of Education (DepEd), and other social groups in society regarding the role and utility of Zoom as a commonly used platform for school webinars. Despite the escalating number of studies on the Zoom Meeting Application, there are limited studies on the pros and cons of using Zoom for school webinars and the academic-related struggles and benefits brought by this videoconferencing tool. Hence, this study ascertained the opportunities and challenges of using Zoom in webinar-based education. A systematic literature review (SLR) and meta-analysis were employed in the process of collecting relevant and up-to-date research papers and journals on the research topic. Based on the eligibility criteria, 27 studies were included in the evaluation of the retrieved data through content and thematic analyses. During the systematic literature review, (5) five distinct themes were formulated. The opportunities and challenges of using the Zoom Meeting Application in the academe include: (1) Resource Center of Academic Learning; (2) Driver of Human Communication; (3) Indicator of Motivation and Well-being; (4) Stimulator of Psychological Breakdown; and (5) Mastermind of Diminishing Virtual Participation. As a result, the Zoom Meeting Platform is a technology tool for education that provides both benefits and gaps for teachers and students in academic learning institutions. It shows the two-sided influence of Zoom on the teaching and learning process through conducting school-based webinars. Indeed, this study suggested further empowering teachers in promoting student-centered instructional approaches and transforming students into vehicles of learning and agents of change.
