Conference Archive

Learning Solutions Conference & Expo 2014 - March 19, 2014

Virtual-classroom sessions, if used appropriately, can reinforce and enhance blended-learning programs. However, virtual-classroom sessions often fail to produce expected results. Many times this is due to improper use of the virtual classroom. Other times it’s because good learning practices are often left out of the virtual classroom.

Participants in this session will gain a better understanding of what the virtual classroom is, and when you should use it. You’ll discuss tips and techniques for effectively using the virtual classroom, and you’ll learn how the virtual classroom has been used successfully to support blended learning programs.

• When virtual classroom sessions may support or enhance blended learning programs
• About the challenges that can be present in the virtual classroom environment
