Compared to self-taught lessons, structured learning guided by a professional has been more effective as it takes less time and is much easier for students to get the desired results. In a learning process, there must be a guide so learners don’t acquire some wrong techniques. Classrooms have survived for centuries, but with the events in 2020, many professionals took a new approach and delivered their classes online in a virtual classroom. Even before the pandemic, many people used some kind of virtual classroom because they had to work or study remotely.
Nowadays, there are plenty of virtual classrooms available, and choosing one is a priority for every professional as it will affect the quality of their class and learners’ experience.
To help you choose the best one, here are some things to consider.
Mobile/Tablet Support
Not everyone will use a computer to join a class. Lots of young learners and busy professionals prefer to use tablets or their mobile phones when joining a class, but teachers/ instructors may find it helpful if something goes wrong with their computer or laptop. The right virtual classroom should be available on any device.
Scheduling and launching live classes
When choosing the right virtual classroom, look at its features and whether or not it supports scheduling and launching live videos. This will help all instructors and learners/trainees to deliver and take part in classes at any time, no matter where they are, and the scheduling feature will make the process more organized.
Attendance Report
This feature empowers instructors to quickly and easily gather relevant data, such as student attendance, students’ in and out time, as well as the duration. This is immensely helpful for teachers when writing their reports.
Available In Several Languages
There should be several interface languages available in case there are some foreign students. They may find navigating the classroom much more easily when it’s in their mother tongue than in the language they’re not fluent in. The choice of language should also be easily changed, so the students/trainees don’t have to spend lots of time looking for this feature.
Security
Not only teachers/instructors but also students or trainees must be assured that the information they share is secure in this environment so they can feel confident about attending such classes. The best virtual classrooms should provide the encrypting feature.
Countdown Timer
This option empowers students or trainees to be aware of a class start time so they can be reminded and join the class on time as well as prepare accordingly.
Recording
The recording feature helps teachers store their students’ data and performance. It also allows watching the classes after it ends in case students missed something during the class.
