A virtual classroom is an online classroom that allows participants to communicate with one another, view presentations or videos, interact with other participants, and engage with resources in work groups. Virtual in the case of Virtual Classroom means that the trainer/teacher/instructor is not physically present in the classroom. A virtual classroom allows both learners and instructors around the world to participate in live classes to collaborate and interact
Online classes allow for the ability to record class as it happens, including any presentation audio and visuals. This means that the content is accessible even after being delivered, an added benefit for those who want a quick refresher, or perhaps did not fully understand the first time
Just as in a real-world classroom (or traditional classroom), a student in a virtual classroom participates in synchronous instruction. This means that the teacher and students are logged into the virtual environment at the same Time. Instead of having an instructor and students travelling to a single location for a training, the instructor or trainer can conduct the course from the comfort of their office, while students participate in the course from various locations on the globe
This helps organisations to break geographical barriers when it comes to training, while removing the need for travel for both course instructor and student. As TiM, we are able to setup virtual learning environments for different organisations
