Virtual Classrooms & Collaboration

Introduction

Virtual classroom technology allows instructors and students to interact in real-time over the Internet. Similar to teaching in the classroom, instructors can share their computer screen, poll, and chat with students online using one of these virtual spaces. Virtual classroom solutions include Acadly and Zoom. Acadly offers student engagement capabilities that may benefit synchronous online and hybrid learning.
