Student Guide Virtual Classrooms
What is a virtual classroom:
A virtual classroom is an online learning environment that simulates a traditional classroom. Students and teachers meet through the Blackboard system. Students can attend lectures and interact with the teacher and colleagues, without physically attend in the university. These classes provide the flexibility to attend lessons from anywhere.
