Virtual Classroom
TECHNOLOGY

Digital Studio
Live lectures are filmed at a digital Centre in the city. The teachers who are trained as Virtual Classroom expert deliver lectures to hundreds of schools simultaneously depending on the language of instruction, school timing & learning grades of the students. The expert teacher has access to digital blackboard which helps screen audio-visual aids for the schools.

Live Interaction
Lectures are beamed to classrooms via 60” plasma screens installed in every school. A webcam installed in every school enables the expert teacher to view the classrooms where the lectures are screened. Students in a particular school can communicate with the expert teacher using a microphone at any given time. Thus, it’s a two way communication channel.

Virtual Classroom
Geographical location of the school is irrelevant as long as the school is on the virtual network, i.e. connected via Internet. The remote location does not affect the quality of instruction. All teachers delivering lectures and the in-class teachers can view each other and can participate in the on-going discussion.
