In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, what teaching tools/platforms do you find more useful to teach students remotely?
Many thanks in advance for your replies!

Though Facebook and Twitter: consciousness raising and advice not to be panicked.
Thanks
Skype, WhatsApp, Duo, and IMO are very effective provided you have excellent network connection
Interesting question, especially in this time of Covid-19 pandemic
teaching can be done in two ways here
1. recording the content and posting them in a drive which can be accessible to students any time and adding chat room for any questions
for recording of certain videos on screen in laptop , you can use softwares like the below stated
1. Epic Pen ( highligher or a pointer for desktop ) so other can see where and what you are highlighting it is free of cost
2. Icecream screen recorder for recording purpose very easy to use and user friendly
3. the recorded video can be edited and modified with windows movie maker inbuilt with all windows laptops
4. H5P interactive https://h5p.org/ for creating interactive video we can asses whether student is listing or not
5. Video scribe is to write with animated hand which grabs attention of the students towards screen
like these plenty are there i prepared one list of such kind with screen shots in the paper below please refer you may find it help ful
2. webinar is one kind like team viewer, skype, and plenty of tools available in market
Where possible, I think that teachers should use a single, consolidated Learning Management System. Many schools already have such an LMS.
The big advantage for the students is that they have all of their learning activities together in one place, as opposed to having to constantly go back and forth among multiple online platforms.
Many Learning Management systems such as Schoology, Google classroom and Edmodo.
At the University of Padova we are using a combination of Moodle, Kaltura, Zoom, WooClap
Cambridge Institute for Music Therapy Research: Zoom to facilitate live interactive music making and song writing, sharing screen, best audio quality and clarity wearing headphones. I have used WhatsApp and Messenger video for monitoring clinents during clinical contacts.
Doddle (in line with Michael'sresponse above) seems to work brilliantly for secondary level students, as does Google Classroom for primary level. Perhaps Moodle is for undergrads, right Alessio?... I will have a look online.
What I use it's Teams, but my university provides me the access.
Webroom.net is nice, you and your students don't have to instal any program, you just send a link, you can share the files, and work on one board (but only 12 participants in the room for free); Zoom and Google classroom is also good for communication with students.

In our country classroom only , i dont know if there is another platform in other countries
We use google classroom
In addition to questions and answers by creating a group on the Telegram
Dear colleagues
It is an interesting question and the answer depends on the context. For example, not all my students have free connectivity, computers or smartphones, so what I do is the following: the class presentations I upload to slideshire, to scibd as pdf, and I make some videos about these presentations and upload them to Youtube. This is available all the time and when they can see it.
Greetings, Juan
The first world's universities already have an electronic system that allows students to get in touch with their departments, the universities in the developing world are mostly using Google Classroom, Moodel supported by live video call applications such as Google hangouts, Meet, and Zoom.

Moodle, zoom and skype, in addition, the ad hoc "Virtual Campus" of my University
The Google Classroom platform for asking subjects, questions and other platform is Admudo

Actually, Remote teaching creates huge opportunities for effective learning and collaboration outside the classroom. It is important to keep the following in mind before we explore the various online tools available. The focus should be on pedagogy and learning, rather than technology. So, any tool that serves this goal is good and workable.
All the tools still require the skill, experience and expertise of a teacher. It does not matter what the platform is, the impact is on how we use it. So, we should look for ways to establish routines that allow everyone to get organized and be engaged in a smooth educational process.
To keep track of the course, for example the activities. I recommend Piazza or Moodle.
To create questionnaires, I recommend the "Google forms" tool or use "Telegram @botQuiz".
To do a virtual class, I recommend "Zoom"
To make a feedback or answer questions use Telegram.
I agree with José Alejandro Castro about the list of tools used for each pedagogical task (learning or assessment)

Dear Adnan Z. Mkhelif ,
I have used Piazza and Google Forms.
I hope i can use Zoom and Telegram.
Can be Google or Microsoft Team Meeting and other platforms that will help.
I prefer:
1. Moodle as LMS
2. Google Meet as video-communication service
3. Screencast-O-Matic as screen recorder & video editor (in free version we can record videos up to 15 min length)
4. Youtube as on-line video-sharing platform
