Our society is changing. A new paradigm of education is developing. One that integrates computer technology and Internet education. Technology and education have surpassed the physical boundaries of the classroom.
The continual evolution of technology enables a growing number of students to rely on Internet for education instead of the traditional classroom-style learning. The Internet offers advantages such as flexible access, new ways of communicating and easy access for students and teachers to meet anywhere in the world.
More and more universities and educational institutions are launching e-learning courses to students situated across the world– in cities, in towns or in villages. The greatest advantage of attending a virtual classroom is enjoying a self-paced learning less taxing duration that is much less than the duration of a typical physical classroom. Virtual classroom sessions are generally restricted to 1-2 hours a day.
A virtual classroom learning environment promises to re-involve students in the learning process and make it a more easy, effective, interactive and participatory experience for the student as well as the teacher.
