Virtual Classroom Platform

Challenge

Digital transformation is reshaping the education landscape. Today, students' expectations are moving toward more personalized, highly interactive, and convenient experiences.

As a result, the requirements for classrooms are also changing. A modern classroom should be equipped with computers and other digital tools to make learning highly interactive, uninterrupted, and convenient for both learners and teachers.

Solution

Softarex has developed an Online Training Platform* for distance learning. It allows creating virtual classes for students from the existing arsenal of virtual machines on our customer’s servers. The platform is a part of a larger ecosystem of tools for online training.

The software provides training classes or laboratories. There are two types of them: web applications (cloud-based labs) or virtual machines deployed on a remote server (hardware-based labs). There’s also an audio room, available for everyone. Using our platform, instructors can pre-configure labs for specific training needs, upload files, take control, monitor student work in real-time, create surveys, assignments, exams, and polls, and communicate with students online. Whenever a student finishes work or gets disconnected, instructors receive notifications right away. Students can upload their materials — texts, videos, audio, questionnaires, etc. — and share them with the entire class. Instead of raising hands like in a real classroom, they can add themselves to the Help Queue to ask an instructor for help with learning materials or assignments.
