A Virtual Classroom is private online space in Blackboard that teachers can use to support student learning. It is accessible via the Internet, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Just like your face–to–face classroom, a Virtual Classroom is a busy place.
A Virtual Classroom might contain:
Class activities
- Group and individual learning activities
- Discussions and chats with students, parents and guests
- Quizzes and surveys
- Homework activities and assessment documents
- Full online courses with modules of work
- Forums and synchronous chat sessions
WebQuests, Hotlists, Scavenger Hunts, etc.
Class organization
- Important information for students and parents
- Calendar and timetables
- Unit overviews
- Student grade/mark book and criteria sheets
- Student homepages
Virtual Classrooms (or private courses) are not listed on the Learning Place. The only participants are your own students or the staff at your school or place of work.
