The Virtual Classroom

The Virtual Classroom Environment

The Virtual Classroom seminars will be accomplished using an Internet based classroom. In this environment educational activities will be replicated that are normally conducted in a traditional classroom setting. Students can “attend” the Virtual Classroom discussions at times convenient to them rather than having to be at a specific place at a specific time.

Students are encouraged to review and make comments to submissions by other students. Typically, students will complete projects in a word processing program and then attach the document to a submission in the virtual classroom discussion area or by copy and pasting into a new message in the Virtual Classroom discussion area.

Optionally, work that is not to be shared with the team/classmates (such as examinations) can be directly submitted to your Instructor through a private electronic mailbox. All work will be graded by the Instructor and returned to the teams or individuals electronically to their personal electronic mailbox.
