Virtual Classroom Solutions

DIGITEK offers Virtual Classroom Solutions to our customers. A Virtual Classroom is a simulated classroom via Internet, which provides a convenient communication environment for distance learners just like traditional face-to-face classroom. A virtual classroom allows learners to attend a class from anywhere in the world and aims to provide a learning experience that is similar to a real classroom.

In a college setup, lectures are scheduled, students arrive on time; find their teachers, fellow learners, a blackboard or whiteboard, LCD projector, optionally a television screen with videos. Likewise, a Virtual Classroom is a scheduled, online, teacher-led training/teaching session where teachers and learners interact together using computers linked to a network such as the Internet.

A virtual classroom enables to bring learners from around the world together online in highly interactive virtual classes while greatly reducing the travel, time, and expense of on-site teaching/training programs.

It facilitates instructor and student in teaching-learning events, such as a seminar, online discussion or a live training for employees in company.

They can talk with each other alike the traditional classroom via chat. Similarly presenter uses whiteboard, gives notes/resources, gives presentation as given in traditional one.

Some of the Key Components of a Virtual Classroom include a Video Conferencing Setup, High Definition PTZ Cameras, Electronic Podiums with Touchscreen, High Fidelity Audio System and Speakers, Microphones with Echo Cancellation, Projector, Screen, Vuisualiser and the like.

Advantages of Virtual Classroom: -

  • Removal of geographical barriers (Anywhere learning) A virtual classroom allows learners and teachers to attend a single      live training session from any place in the world, provided they have a computer and Internet connection.
  • Sessions can be recorded If learners miss a traditional classroom-based training session, they have very little opportunity to    engage in the learning experience that took place. A virtual classroom has a facility to record the session, so learners or      teachers can replay it afterwards. Teachers too get an opportunity to review their own or their colleagues performance.
  • Quicker to organize Training can be organized more quickly than traditional classroom-based training. Classrooms and    projectors do not need to be reserved, materials do not need to be distributed. The sessions are easier to schedule or       reschedule since attendees will not be traveling to the venue of the session.
  • One to one communication In a virtual classroom environment, learners can talk to the teacher and to each other, and       although this communication is not as rich in a traditional classroom, it still can help learners, since it is one to one.
