Online education is now a common thing, and due to the outburst of the pandemic, almost everybody is now familiar with the work and study from home system. Online studies and work facility has saved mankind from a huge loss in terms of education and economy, respectively. Talking about the economy, people are now more comfortable working from home, and many companies still approve of it, as the transit time is saved and the employees are more productive while working from the comfort of their homes. So Live Classroom development is much needed for teaching and learning online.
On the other hand, the online education culture has made students access the education which was impossible to get, as one had to move to a different location, in or out of their country. But since the study material or special courses are now available at students’ fingertips, they are now able to choose what they want to study. The virtual class is a similar concept to online education, or we say is part of the online learning process, but the most effective one.
Virtual classes are live and offer the feel of a real classroom, hence, enhancing the study experience, allowing the students to learn in an interactive environment.
What is a Virtual Class and How it’s Different from the Actual Class?
Most of us are already familiar with the online learning scenario. Who isn’t, online learning is studying on a platform on a laptop, computer, or a mobile phone (connected to the internet), specially built for teaching and studying purposes, without going to a particular place, from the comfort of your home.
A virtual classroom is a part of online learning and is the most effective way of learning when accessing classes online. We use a video conferencing software for virtual classes, such that the students and the teachers sitting miles apart can interact in real-time through this very software. This software can be a separate video conferencing tool, Live Classroom development, or an LMS, specially designed for teaching and learning online. The virtual classroom gives the feel of a real classroom, and the instructors can engage with the students in a more efficient way and provide feedback in real-time.
With virtual classrooms, the teachers have the power to moderate the participation of the students in real-time and like an LMS, can provide the students with the learning material in document form. A Live Classroom development is more advanced in terms of the features compared to the actual in-class experience, as it offers screen-sharing, virtual whiteboard features, poll/quizzes/ organization, session recording, etc. Not only the teachers can track the progress of the students, but the students can also ask questions in doubt.

We have already discussed that a virtual classroom beats the actual physical classroom in multiple ways. Here are some detailed advantages of a virtual classroom:

This is the basic process of setting up a virtual classroom. Though you can also create a DIY classroom from some of the available Live Classroom development builders online, it is always better to take the help of professionals.
