The Virtual Classroom is essentially an integrated online meeting/web-conferencing tool – similar to Zoom, WebEx, and other tools. It allows instructors and learners to engage each other via livestream video. You can use Virtual Classroom to engage a large audience and connect up to 7 simultaneous webcams.

Because it’s integrated within the TILE platform, the Virtual Classroom is easy to set up. It’s especially useful for:

  • Synchronous learning activities, like online lectures or group activities
  • Virtual office hours at regularly scheduled times
