Learner Guide To Virtual Classrooms

Learn about how to use virtual classrooms

The virtual classrooms feature enables video meetings to be directly linked to a course. You will be notified when an event is coming up and you will be able to add it to your calendar. You will also be able to view a recording of the event if the Admin uploads this after the event takes place. 

The virtual classrooms feature can be used with most video conferencing platforms e.g. Zoom or Microsoft Teams. It can also be configured to display in-person meeting locations. 

Each time you log in, a pop-up for next virtual classroom available will appear, and you can click "view details" or view course details (if the next conference is in a course that has multiple conferences). You can also dismiss the pop-up.
