How are the Classes conducted?
Alhumdulillah, we have one of the best educational portal system to carry out our classes. We do not use common software like skype etc which requires installation on both sides thus giving trouble to the students and making it difficult for those who are not technically sound in computers.
We make it easy for our students to log into the online class. They just click on a URL/link to log into the class using username and password. Once clicked, it takes them to a virtual classroom like portal where they can not only see white board, but also see the instructor via camera and chat with him/her both verbally as well as through text messaging. They can also see the list of other students in the class and hence listen to them while tutor takes their session.
Our portal enables synchronous distance learning with tools like real-time virtual classrooms with multi-way audio, up to 6 live video streams, integrated chat, online whiteboard, application sharing, file transfer, breakout rooms, and more. Some of the features are:
- Upto 6 live video streams: Have face-to-face interactions with your remote Tutor and conversations without echo, even without headsets.
- Easy and effective text chat: Get personal attention from your remote Tutor in one-on-one or group chat.
- Whiteboard tools to draw naturally: Write in English, Arabic, Spanish, or whichever language you speak; Use symbols, draw using the drawing tools, and flip among multiple whiteboards.
- Easily upload on the fly: Share PowerPoint slides, documents, web pages, and even your desktop with remote Tutor in real time. Share YouTube videos synchronously.
- Breakout sessions and recordings: Students can comprehend difficult concepts and collaborate with their peers through discussions in breakout rooms or watch recordings of live classes.
