VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

A virtual classroom is a system that provides the same opportunities for the teaching and learning process, beyond the physical limits of the

traditional classroom's walls, thanks to the use of computer

communication networks.

ADVANTAGES OF VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

FOR DISTANCE LEARNING

Removal of geographical

barriers (Anywhere

learning)

Quicker to organize

One to one communication

Sessions can be recorded

DISTANCE EDUCATION/

LEARNING

"Distance education is beset with a remarkable paradox - it has asserted its existence, but it

cannot define itself.”

Page 11: Presentaton for cf

FEATURES OF DISTANCE

EDUCATION Distance education implies that the majority

of educational communication between teacher and student occurs non-contiguously.

Distance education involves two-way communication between teacher and student for the purpose of facilitating and supporting the educational process.

Distance education uses technology to mediate the necessary two-way communication.

VIRTUAL CLASSROOM IN BANGLADESH FOR

DISTANCE LEARNINGBangladesh Virtual Classroom is a project

run by Örebro University (Sweden), Soft-Ed Limited and

Bangladesh Open University (BOU), the project is funded by SPIDER. Bangladesh

Virtual Classroom project focuses on using electronic means to provide education to

rural areas in Bangladesh.

VIRTUAL CLASSROOM IN BANGLADESH FOR DISTANCE

LEARNING

The project proposed will use mobile technology’s Short Messaging Service along with perceived live telecast to create an ‘almost’ ideal classroom

situation for distance learning using the Question based Participation

(QBP) technique.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY OF VIRTUAL CLASSROOM FOR DISTANCE LEARNING

Activities for Virtual Classroom

Page 15: Presentaton for cf

DIFFERENT STEPS FOR IMPLEMENTING VIRTUAL

CLASSROOM IN BANGLADESH

Assess the needs and the necessary conditions to satisfy specific target group

Estimate the development cost, effort, and implications

Plan the virtual classroom

Design the virtual classroom

Prepare and distribute contents

Page 16: Presentaton for cf

DIFFERENT STEPS FOR IMPLEMENTING VIRTUAL

CLASSROOM IN BANGLADESH

Enable communication

Implement online student assessment methods Teaching

Implement class management procedures

Set up the system

Maintain and update the virtual classroom

Page 17: Presentaton for cf

STEP –ONEASSESS THE NEEDS AND

THE NECESSARY

Are there remote students for that course?

Will they be able to access the course site and perform all the necessary interactions?

Is there institutional support and interest?

Are there administrative policies and procedures for these cases?

Page 18: Presentaton for cf

STEP –TWODEVELOPMENT COST, EFFORT, AND

IMPLICATIONS

How long is it going to take develops the virtual classroom?

Which tools will be needed? How much will they cost? Which equipment will they require?

How many people with which specific will be needed?

How much will the development impact the instructor’s workloads?

How much will it impact the teaching methods used so far?

Page 19: Presentaton for cf

STEP –TWODEVELOPMENT COST, EFFORT, AND

IMPLICATIONS (CONTD.)

What are the institution's Web publishing and Internet access policies?

How much of the total contents are already available in electronic format?

What will be the software/hardware requirements for the client (student) machine?

What will be the software/hardware requirements for the server machine?

Page 20: Presentaton for cf

STEP –THREEPLAN THE VIRTUAL

CLASSROOM

What are the educational goals?

How will these goals be accomplished?

Which goals will possibly not be accomplished and how can we compensate for them?

Which approaches could be used to achieve a given goal? Which of them is more viable?

Page 21: Presentaton for cf

STEP –FOURDESIGN THE VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

How will the (maybe thousands of) HTML pages be structured?

Can we provide a (preferably consistent) "look-and-feel" for the Web pages?

What should be the layout for a typical course page?

How fancy should the pages be? What is the related hardware/software/ technology impact?

Page 22: Presentaton for cf

STEP –FIVE - PREPARE AND DISTRIBUTE

CONTENTS

Which authoring tools should be used?

How to import, create, and edit images?

How to import, create, and edit sounds?

How to import, create, and edit graphics and animations?

How to import, create, and edit videos?

Where will the Web pages be posted?

Page 23: Presentaton for cf

STEP –SIXENABLE COMMUNICATION

Which form of communication?

Which tools should be used?

Page 24: Presentaton for cf

STEP –SEVEN – IMPLEMENTONLINE STUDENT ASSESSMENT

METHODS TEACHING

Should the virtual classroom contain quizzes?

What about online assignments?

Should we provide some kind of student evaluation?

How tests are implemented online?

What about cheating?

How will assignments, tests, etc. be submitted, graded, and returned to students?

Page 25: Presentaton for cf

STEP – EIGHTIMPLEMENT CLASS

MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES

Which type of class management information is relevant?

Which tools can be used to perform those tasks?

Page 26: Presentaton for cf

STEP – NINESET UP THE SYSTEM

Which hardware and software components are necessary?

What is needed to install, configure, and protect the virtual classroom contents?

Page 27: Presentaton for cf

STEP –TEN MAINTAIN AND UPDATE THE

VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

What are the media, software, and policies for backup?

Should the site contents and links also be maintained on a regular basis?
