Due to Covid-19 Pandemic, a lot of changes took place around the world. The education sector faced a huge difficulty after the social gathering was not allowed to control the spread of the deadly virus. Schools, universities, and other educational institutes were shut and this created a hindrance in the flow of education for all students. This encouraged innovations like LMS and Virtual Classrooms to finally change the course of education and make it a digitized process.
Today, the number of schools and education institutes adopting eLearning solutions are rapidly growing in number. Schools are organizing online learning sessions that all students can attend from their homes through the internet. This technique of learning is now taking over the traditional methods.
According to Global Market Insights, “E-Learning Market size surpassed USD 200 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at over 8% CAGR between 2020 and 2026”
According to TopHat, A virtual classroom is a digital learning environment that allows teachers and students to connect online in real-time. Virtual classrooms utilize video conferencing, online whiteboards, and screen sharing to allow educators to hold live lectures, virtual office hours, and discussions with students in an interactive setting. Virtual classrooms are meant to replicate the experience of physical classrooms, with the added benefits of file sharing, instant feedback, and interaction and are ideal in distance learning situations”
Here are some benefits of using a Virtual Classroom:
This system can be accessed anytime and from anywhere. All you need is an electronic device that can connect to the internet.
A lot of time and energy can be saved through virtual classrooms. Students don’t have to travel all the way to the school and back. You can never be late in attending classes as you can easily join in the session from your home.
This system also provides strong security by following certain protocols to keep unwanted people to join the learning session. A lot of time there are hackers who try to get into the teaching session and create disturbance and hindrance in the teaching process. This system keeps away all the risks to facilitate smooth learning experiences.
The students of today’s generation are tech-savvy and the coming future will bring more digitalized processes in every field of work. Virtual Classroom can help students get familiar with how they can use technology for personal learning and upskilling.
Earlier, eLearning was criticized for its lack of human element but now with the innovation of Virtual Classrooms, that gap has been filled. Now, teachers are able to give life lessons to students from their homes without any difficulties. Especially during the pandemic, Virtual Classrooms have been a solution for difficulties in the learning and teaching process.
