What is a “Virtual Classroom” and how do I use it?
The virtual classroom is communication tool that some instructors may choose to use. Unlike discussion boards, The virtual classroom in Blackboard is synchronous, meaning it takes place in real time, and uses a both chat and electronic white board areas. It is almost like having a class discussion except that it is written rather than oral. The screen is broken into a few sections. One will be where you enter what you want to “say.” You type your text in the area provided and then type the Enter key on your keyboard. (In the picture above, this is the section at the very bottom that has a red circle around it.) The section just above it, in this example, will show everyone’s comments, including your own. The very top section is the electronic white board section where you can draw things.
